From Long Island by way of Boston University, Defenseman Charlie McAvoy did not have to travel far to join the team that drafted him, the Boston Bruins, who used their 14^th Overall Pick in 2017.

McAvoy had a very good start to his professional career, finishing fifth in Calder voting off of a 32 Point year.  The physical blueliner wasted no time proving that he was the team’s top Defenseman and in 2019/20, he began a three-year streak of top ten Norris finishes, with a fourth-place tally and a Second Team All-Star in 2021/22.  Going into this season, McAvoy has a two-year run of 50 Point years, and is in his prime.

We could have a top 20 Bruin in Charlie McAvoy.
