There will be dozens of articles coming out on Patrik Elias today, with his impending jersey retirement tonight at the Prudential Center. They will look at the history of Elias coming over to the New Jersey Devils and making immediate impacts. Writers will assess whether Elias could make it to the Hall of Fame. They will look at the moments we’ll never forget, like the pass to win a Stanley Cup or the last lap in a Devils uniform.
But that’s assessing the past for Patty. We want to know what Elias’ future holds.
