Patrick Elias - The Most Underrated BBKLer?

[Robin Hood]

Gotta be one of the most underrated BBKLers:

On pace for 30+ Goals, 80+ Points, 75+ Hits, 160+ SHTOI, 800+ FOW. 225+ SOG

PM/MSN.

[Scott]

Real solid player but I dunno about the most underrated. Especially at 6 million dollars

[Chris]

He's an incredibly talented player -- heart and soul type -- but man, I've always felt that he never really reached the peak of his abilities.

[Sensfanjosh]

Doesn't help that for the majority of his career he played in a system that didn't exactly encourage offense from players.

Pretty much what Josh said. The system in NJD always held him back. He's been one of the best players of the last two decades.

Elias' FOW will reduce considerably once Travis Zajac returns.

always so negative lol..

Kareem, you interested in my tenders? man, if you landed them I think you'd be my pick for the BBKL title.. (not just blowing smoke either)

What? Elias has FOT of 267. Second is Henrique with 112. Even when Zajac returns, Elias will see a LOT of faceoffs. Easily 600+ on the year IMO.

Scott and shiv holding hands today!

I actually really like Elias, I just hate it when people exaggerated statements to inflate the value of their players.

In regards to MAF, no thank you. He is a great goaltender, no doubt about it, but I'm done trying to acquire top goalies, it is an inconsistent position, and the elite netminders in the game cost a fortune. I'd rather spend peanuts on my current tandem, and focus on maximizing the talent throughout the rest of my lineup. Thanks for asking though.

[Scott]

No problem man, if you change your mind you know where to find me.

500 is my guess, the same as Henrique now, a far cry from 800+.

He is on pace for 800+. He will easily be above 600. From there on, he could be over 700+ or even maintain his pace as well. Why you chose to nitpick, I do not understand.

[Shep]

I'd easily trade Kopitar + Tavares to land him.

LOL.

[Chris]

I'd offer my entire first line of Wilson, Schenn, and Nino to get Elias.

[Nick]

An AHL first line?

Jokes chris. Pure 100% jokes-I really like 2/3 of those guys and believe them to be awesome pieces moving forward.

[Chris]

Wilson's looking very good (assuming you're speaking of him as the 1/3 you don't like). Starting to assert his physical gifts this year as well. Should be a centre going forward. Too good to be playing on the wing.

[Scott]

I'm still waiting for Colin Wilson to break out the lego man.. I want to build a sky-scrap!!

[kyuss]

well, i see he is definitely rated higher today than when i got him.
