FILE - In this June 6, 2019, file photo, Boston Bruins' Charlie McAvoy (73) skates up the ice during the first period in Game 5 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final game against the St. Louis Blues, in Boston. With NHL training camps set to open this week, roughly a dozen prominent restricted free agents still don’t have contracts, including Tampa Bay’s Brayden Point, Toronto’s Mitch Marner, Boston’s Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo and Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen. Those absences could hang over their teams for days, weeks or even months and have raised questions about why it’s taken so long to get them signed.(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File)

FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2019, file photo, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) leads the team onto the field for the AFC championship NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo. The Patriots have been playing down the fact they weren’t chosen for the opener of the NFL’s 100th season despite their latest Lombardi Trophy. But their coaching staff finds little items to push the players’ buttons, and Brady is as strong a motivator to teammates as anyone in the league. The Patriots play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough this week. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)
