WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Charlie McAvoy is the modern cornerstone defender, logging heavy minutes (24.5 per game) as a genuine two-way force who shapes the game from his own blue line. While not a primary shooter, his prolific 52 assists this season and exceptional career +152 plus/minus demonstrate he’s a puck-moving architect who consistently elevates the play of everyone around him.
