This contract is really worrisome. He is getting second line $ and yet plays on a level of 3rd or 4th line center. Stastny can do all that Little can, but only much better (I guess defensively there's not much of a difference). Of course I opted to trade him, but what team would be desperate enough to retain him with that cap hit? I don't even think Seattle would take him, especially when there's a pool of players to select from. In any scenario I see the Jets trading him, that involves losing an asset or future asset. His situation is really strange. Can't remember any recent examples of a player going into as deep decline as Little has at the age of 29 (he is 30 years old today). Maybe he's not putting in the effort during the off-seasons? Don't know. As long as we never ever have to witness a line of ELL again.
