The arrival of Tom Brady in New England during the 2000 NFL Draft represented a major change for the New England Patriots.

McAvoy and fellow defenseman Hampus Lindholm are expected to return next season, and those two are Boston’s best defenseman. Lindholm has been out since the early part of the year after taking a shot off his knee. The return of McAvoy and Lindholm are likely to make the Bruins a much better defensive team. In addition to McAvoy missing the rest of the regular-season games, forward Mark Kastelic’s season has also come to a conclusion.

The Green Bay Packers (11-6) were a playoff team that appeared to be dangerous at multiple points during the season.
