Bruins sign Brandon Carlo to two-year contract with $2.85M AAV

The Boston Bruins have finally finished their business in restricted free agency.

The Bruins have signed defenseman Brandon Carlo to a two-year contract with an annual cap hit of $2.85 million ($5.7 million total), the team announced Tuesday.

Carlo's deal comes just two days after Boston locked up fellow restricted free agent Charlie McAvoy on a three-year contract with a $4.9 million average annual value.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said earlier this week the team had enough cap space to sign Carlo, and it appears he was correct. The B's now have no more restricted free agents left unsigned, meaning their roster is set one day following Monday's preseason opener against the New Jersey Devils.

Carlo is a solid foundational piece on Boston's blue line, with 230 NHL games under his belt at age 22. The 2015 second-round draft pick tallied 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 72 games last season, and his plus-22 rating was tied for second-best on the team behind Zdeno Chara.
