#2 - Charlie McAvoy - D
Where did he come from?: 2016 Draft, 1st Round, 14th overall
Has he played in the NHL?: Yes! 6 Playoff games!
How exactly do you discuss Charlie McAvoy without getting excited for having a whole year of him ahead of you?
An absolute star in BU’s defense, the highest scoring (by almost ten points), leading the Terrier’s blueline in practically everything: Points (assists especially), Points per game, tied for power play points amongst defensemen...the works. McAvoy was a man amongst boys in Hockey East this year, and made himself out to be a star in the process. He signed an ATO for Providence, but circumstances meant the B’s had to sign him full time and see what he could do for them in the NHL Playoffs.
Whether by need or by nature...they trusted him almost implicitly.
And these were Playoff games! NHL Playoff Games! And the Bruins knew they could trust him right off the bat. He drove possession, he blocked shots, he stopped plays before they ever began, he played like he’d been playing in the NHL for about five years. He played like he had nothing to prove and made the team look better by having him on the ice. And they had him on the ice a lot.
