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.
