McAvoy signs 3-year, $14.7M deal with Bruins

Another top restricted free agent signed with his current team Sunday when defenseman Charlie McAvoy inked a three-year, $14.7 million deal.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made the announcement that the 21-year-old would remain with the team, just days after training camp began. The Bruins have their first preseason game Monday night at New Jersey.

The Bruins didn't have much cap room, so the bridge deal for McAvoy makes sense for both sides. Boston still has to reach agreement with fellow restricted free-agent defenseman Brandon Carlo and has about $3 million left.
