McAvoy's NCAA highlight-reel shows he was a star in the making

Charlie McAvoy has turned into one of the NHL's elite defensemen.

Ever since he was selected by the Bruins with the 14th overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the blueliner has done nothing but improve.

McAvoy had a career year in goals, assists and points this season. He recorded 10 goals and 46 assists in 78 games. But before he ever threw on a Bruins jersey, he wore Boston University's white and red colours.

McAvoy's highlights from his college days show he has always had the offensive side to his game, and it's nice to see it's translated to the NHL.

Here are some of his top plays from his rookie season with the Terriers:
