New Jersey Devils: Will Patrik Elias Retire?

It’s decision time for Patrik Elias. Right when the season ended, he stated that he was reconsidering his future after a nice little return for the last three games of the year. Does that mean that he planned on retiring? Most Devils fans were thinking this was going to be his last year after only playing in 16 games. It really is a special circumstance that you don’t see very often in sports anymore; that is, a professional athlete having a long career with a single franchise. In an era when athletes change teams often, Elias has been a Devil since 1995.
