The Boston Bruins managed to seal the Charlie McAvoy contract without him missing much more than a few days of camp and zero pre-season games; no doubt, they were hoping for the same with Brandon Carlo. Right now though, it’s all but certain he’s missing at least one pre-season fixture.
It’s safe to presume that Brandon Carlo’s agent has spent the summer waiting for the McAvoy deal to land. It not only gives him a comparable to work with the Boston Bruins on, but it also gives a much clearer pictures of the team’s salary cap situation and what numbers are viable.
