Officially retires
Elias announced his retirement from the NHL on Friday.
ANALYSIS
A true poster boy for loyalty, Elias spent two decades with the Devils, hoisting the Stanley Cup Trophy twice and becoming the team's all-time leader in goals (408), assists (617) and points (1,025). He was a consistent power-play weapon over the years and helped his own cause by playing both the center and winger positions. While GM Ray Shero may have considered re-signing Elias ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, the Czech skater was focused on recovering from knee surgery and another deal never came to fruition.

The 40-year-old Elias appeared in just 16 games for the Devils this past season, his 21st season with the franchise, scoring two goals and eight points. If he does return for the 2016-17 season, it will most certainly be in a limited role, serving either as a depth forward or a spare when injuries strike. Of course, he’ll first have to prove that he’s fully recovered from offseason surgery on his right knee.
