DevilMinder Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 He's going to be super rusty, I hope this injury was what slowed him down. Glad he's able to play again though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Have a feeling Elias has very little left, if anything. Would love for him to prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, I can't see him being too effective upon his return, at least not right away. I also can't imagine he plays after this season. The length of this injury surprised me, and I think it probably surprised him too, and I think he's the type of guy who would want to go out with some grace and dignity and be remembered as a player who was an all around good player who didn't play past his worth and contributions.

thecoffeecake Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 It'd be nice to see him hang it up after this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 They actually have an open roster spot when Elias returns so they won't have to make a decision yet and can scratch o'neill and matteau. But when ruutu comes back, assuming no injuries, someone is going on waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Elias is my all-time favorite Devil. Clear cut #1 personal favorite with no doubt in my mind. With that being said, this has a very good probably of this season being very ugly for Patty. After what I saw last year and with his injury issues, not sure how much left he will have in the tank. If he is the weak or slow link in the offense when he comes back then I have no problems with Hynes scratching Elias. We have played 2+ seasons with a lineup filled with plenty of players who shouldn't be around, but were with what can only be described as for sentimental reasons. Love Elias and what he has done, but even if this is his last season in the NHL or not, I think he should be traded at the deadline regardless of how he is doing. If no one takes him that is one thing, but even if there is a team willing to throw a 7th rounder at him I think Shero should take it.

Devils731 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'll go against the grain. Elias was really good just 2 years ago, I won't be surprised if he is effective this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'll go against the grain. Elias was really good just 2 years ago, I won't be surprised if he is effective this season. He's such a smart player it's hard to imagine him being terrible. That said, his balance was real bad at the beginning of last year - that can't continue.

devlman Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think the good vibes and better teammates around him will allow Patty's IQ and skill to shine through once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I'll go against the grain. Elias was really good just 2 years ago, I won't be surprised if he is effective this season. And Josefson and his countryman Tlusty are not bad linemates to be paired up with either. That's a nice-looking third line that Hynes can roll and give significant minutes to.

Anhkheg Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I am not worried about Patty. Last year we had a slow team, I can see this infusion of youth inspire him to raise his level of play. The only player I dont like on this team is gio. I think Matteau should be given time on the fourth line instead. Edited November 16, 2015 by Anhkheg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
