1. march 2011 / DEVILS TEAMMATES: JASON ARNOTT IS NO DESERTER

Before Jason Arnott made his final decision on whether to waive his no-movement clause and accept a trade to the Washington Capitals, he consulted friend and teammate Patrik Elias.

"He asked me how I thought the guys would feel and what they would think about it," Elias told me today. "I think we all understood."

Elias, whose pass in the 2000 Finals led to Arnott's Stanley Cup-clinching goal in Dallas, said he is disappointed to see his teammate go.
