Patrik Elias may well go down as the best forward in the history of the New Jersey Devils.
The 39-year-old Czech forward does not simply lead the Devils in the major offensive categories—he is running away with them.
His 406 goals are 59 more than second-place John MacLean. His 611 assists are 247 more than second-place Scott Niedermayer. His 1,017 points are 316 more than second-place MacLean.

There is little doubt that Elias' legacy as a Devil is already cemented, but that does not change the fact that in 2014-15, he had a mediocre season at season.
