It's no wonder you had to go "through some stats"...being on hfboards for 9 days hardly displays a full understanding of Bryan Little & his enormous contributions to this organization.

He's actually only a year removed from his best season in terms of point production per game played.
You can only be on one line at a time. Yes the Jets have a deeper team this season, but Little has always been surrounded by quality wingers. With Ladd & Wheeler at his side they spent much of the last 5 years as one of the best forward lines in the NHL, dominating their opposition game after game.
Regardless of Little's past play, it's true that he will begin to regress soon. Pure numbers alone may suggest this has begun already. Long time fans are inclined to give him some benefit of the doubt due to the fact he's spent much of this season covering up for his constantly out of position euro wingers. This isn't all on Laine & Ehlers, Little has been a bit spoiled having consummate pro's like Ladd & Wheeler complement his game. It's tough to spend a half decade with veterans always doing the little things right to sophomores playing with reckless abandon.
Looking forward, the Jets certainly need a quality #2 centre to appear within the next 2 seasons, but for the present we're pretty good.
I noticed the "we" in your last post. Perhaps a little early? You've only jumped on this bandwagon 4 games ago.
I doubt many mind however. It actually feels nice! Have we ever had a band wagon before?
