Charlie McAvoy gets his deserving big payday
The richest contract in Boston Bruins history goes to Charlie McAvoy.
As first reported by the legendary Bob McKenzie, the Bruins and McAvoy agreed to terms on an eight-year, $76 million contract extension on the eve of their season opener. The $9.5 million AAV includes a $3.25 million signing bonus for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons; a $3 million signing bonus for the 2024-25, 2025-26, 2028-29 and 2029-30 seasons; and a $4 million signing bonus for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 campaigns.
According to Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, the new deal also includes a no-movement clause — from 2025-28.
