The Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney are still working hard to get Brandon Carlo and Charlie McAvoy under contract.�
Out of the two, McAvoy will likely land the bigger contract and that was the original indication on why no deal has been made yet.�
However it might not be McAvoy's contract demands that are stalling the talks.�
It's not that the Bruins might think that McAvoy is overvaluing himself, the Bruins might be hesitant to dish out any big offers because of McAvoy's health card.�
According to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, it could actually be a huge concern.�
"The Bruins' concern here is health: McAvoy has suffered heart and concussion issues and has yet to play more than 63 games in a season."The Bruins will try to dig in a little bit. They'll point to his games and they'll use [David] Pastrnak, who's a superstar. It'll be a tough deal to do, a tough deal to evaluate. It may end up that a solution is four years," an anonymous agent told Shinzawa."
According to Shinzawa, McAvoy has already rejected an eight year deal worth $7.5million a season.�
