It was just confirmed for Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy and it's shocking

But, the irony of this all, is with all of the Bruin's latest call-ups and acquisitions he now is the smallest defenseman on the team this season.

McAvoy is 6'1", while his teammates are:

The Bruins' defense will be towering, and bruising this season as the following defenseman towers over even McAvoy. It seems Don Sweeney was intent on bringing back the "big bad bruins".

Nikita Zadarov- 6'6"
Brandon Carlo & Mason Lohrei- 6'5"
Hampus Lindholm- 6'4"
Andrew Peeke- 6'3"

This blueline will play heavy on the puck, just like they should, especially with Nikita Zadarov on the top pairing.

Hopefully, they will be relentless, bruising, and ready to fight for a Stanley Cup soon.
