Could Charlie McAvoy Get Paid Like Erik Karlsson And Drew Doughty?
The Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney still have two significant contracts to hand out.�
Sweeney needs to get restricted free agent defenseman Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo under contract.
While Carlo shouldn't come in too expensive, it might be a different story for McAvoy.�
Adam Gretz of NHL NBC Sports put together an interesting comparison of restricted free agents McAvoy and Zach Werenski beside Erik Karlsson and Drew�Doughty who both got paid big bucks recently.�
Gretz points out that the four are the only defenseman to hit at least 100 games played while averaging at least .50 points per game and a Corsi Perecentage of greater than 52 percent during that part of their careers.�
That is extremely elite company for McAvoy to be in.��
Karlsson signed a seven year deal worth $45.5million at that point in his career while Doughty signed an eight year deal worth $56million, Gretz adds that if you constructed a similar contract today, it would likely mean $8million a season for McAvoy.�
A seven year deal for McAvoy would take him to the age of 28 and come together at $56million total.�
That's a massive payday.�
Would you be willing to sign McAvoy to this massive type of contract?
