Report: Devils LW Elias sues former agents

May 11, 2007 - 11:36 PM TORONTO (Ticker) -- Patrik Elias apparently is not someone to let things slide.

Citing undisclosed sources, TSN of Canada reported Friday that the New Jersey Devils captain filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against former agents Mark Gandler and Todd Diamond.

According to TSN, the documents were filed Thursday in New Jersey Federal Court. Elias reportedly accuses the duo with fraud, embezzlement, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of United States Federal Securities Laws.

The veteran left wing, who has not employed Gandler and Diamond for several years, is being represented by San Francisco-based lawyer Ed King, a specialist in cases in which professional athletes sue their representatives.

A second-round pick in 1994, Elias has spent his entire NHL career with the Devils, registering 244 goals and 329 assists in 671 games. The 31-year-old Czech led the team in scoring this past season with 69 points - including 21 tallies - and added a goal and nine assists in 10 playoff contests.
