Who will have a better season (if there is a season), Elias or Doan

[lboogie42]

Both are 36 years old. Who will be better next season(assuming there is one)? you can include what you think their stats will be if u want.

Patty put up 78 points last year with mostly playing on a line with Sykora and Zubrus. He managed to help a very slow Sykora rack up 20 goals last year. Doan is a great player but this poll easily goes to Patty.

Doan's style of play is much, much more likely to be affected by age, and Elias is (and has been) the better player, period.

Not a fair poll to Doan.

Elias, easily. This guy has been criminally underrated his entire career. I was always secretly hoping he would leave the Devils like Mogilny, Sykora, etc.

Wherever he went he would still kill the Flyers like he always did

It's Elias.


edit: nevermind. answered my own question.

[TAnnala]

Should be Elias.

[I Hate Chris Butler]

I'll vote Elias, since he has usually outscored Doan more often than not.

[Saugus]

Definitely Elias. Hands are the last thing to go and he's still got them. Doan's style ages more poorly.
