I'm not a doctor but I don't understand how a guy with a bad wrist can win draws but can't catch a pass?
I mean, draws are hard on the hands and forearms, you're jamming sticks and battling. A pass seams harmless by comparison. I don't know, not a doctor.
Agree with the folks who say, if he's injured he should sit out until it's healed. Playing on the first line, then the second line, and the first power play all season hasn't been helpful, IMO he hurt those units.
At the very least the coaches should have said, ok you can defend and be smart but you can't handle the puck or shoot so we're going to use you in a defensive role and play to your strengths. Instead they did the exact opposite.

Shooting is half wrist. Rotating an injured wrist is harder than taking the pain at faceoffs

He is a good 3rd line center. Just don’t ask about the cap hit, term, or his age.

would be interesting to see what all the first and second line centres in the league make.

Woof. He's closer to a buyout than a 1st line center.
The only saving grace in that profile is his even strength defense. (Although he let Palmieri go in front of the net for the Isles GWG.) Play him as an overpaid 3c next year and you at least get a guy who should live up to the role he's been given.

I don't think Sweeney will see it that way because he wasn't much better the year before

No politics. In any language.
Hasnt been good. That is for sure, especially for $7,750.
He hasn't been good but I think he is playing hurt. Now we have 3 players making way more than their worth and I have little faith in Donny getting anything worth talking about before next season so buckle up it's going to be a long, soft, boring ride!
I have seen no proof of him being hurt, what I have seen is a player that is vastly over paid and even more of a mistake than many in this town that wants to admit, especially, management.

He seems uncoordinated in a way. Not that hes falling all over the ice but it seems his stick and or skates are usually pointing in the wrong direction or he bumps an opposing player and gets spun out. I try to key in on him and it's hard to see a big glaring issue with him it's just that everything goes wrong most of the time when he's involved.

I posted this in the roster thread, but the Bruins should try him at RW at this point. He has been the most active when he goes on the forecheck, and he has played that position in Carolina. He can still take faceoffs, but that's an avenue I think the Bruins should look into. Either that, or get someone on his line that can carry the play.

Oh, so when someone does not play well, the new criteria, automatically he must be hurt. Was Donnie hurt when he signed him, so he has an excuse.
The biggest strength of his offensive game is his shot, not hard to figure out what's going on.

Sounds like Sweeney might want to check in with his team physicians then. He's the one who gave him that contract, coming off of a brutal wrist injury.
Although even prior to his brutal wrist injury,Elias was pretty brutal himself

It's relevant to those that want him to be bad so they can rip on Sweeney for the signing?
