85. . LW. New Jersey Devils. Patrik Elias. 26. player

One of the greatest players in the history of the New Jersey Devils is Patrik Elias. He is the team’s all-time leading scorer and probably the best forward in the team’s history loaded with great forwards. Elias won the Stanley Cup with New Jersey in 2000 and 2003 and was a pivotal part of all of them. He would be a lot of fun to have online to interact with if he ever desired to connect with the fans on that sort of level.

Elias had 408 goals and 617 assists for 1025 points in 1240 games. He spent every single year of his career with New Jersey which means just a little bit more to us as fans. He is one of the most underrated players in the history of the NHL but definitely appreciated by the fans of the Devils. In addition to being an elite player, he was an elite human being that a lot of people enjoyed being around.

If Elias actually used his Twitter on a regular basis, he would absolutely have the personality to make it fun. He may or may not ever get back into hockey in terms of coaching or management but for now, he would be great to have on Twitter. There isn’t really a better way for athletes to communicate with fans than Twitter and having Elias on there would be a blast.
