Sooner rather than later, Ray Shero and company will need to decide what to do with pending free agents. One decision may revolve around Patrik Elias if he does not retire. While his age is a factor, I want to argue that a return would not be bad.
After the end of the season, one in which Patrik Elias scored the final goal of the final game, and saw a standing ovation from the crowd, many have thought that he would most likely retire. I even wrote a little off-color award for it in the AATJ Award Post.
