I'd like to keep him but I doubt he's gonna settle for anything less than 6 mil.. Littles contract is looking quite awful atm.
Actually Bryan Little is the only player in Jets squad being overpayed..

With the Jets recent success with Paul Statsny in the lineup playing as the number 2 center, I have a strong feeling that this will become a heated topic of debate.
He's really helped anchor that second line and bring veteran leadership to the group, and the young guys are following his lead. There is no question he does "make a difference" when in the lineup. He may contribute to a Stanley Cup for us.
With this being said, I can see by the poll that most people we agree that he's worth around $ 5 mil per year, at no more than 3 years, because of age. This is what I think as well.
Do you posters think we should sign him ??? and who would we have to let go ??--that's the question. We have to sign Laine, Connor, Morrisey and Trouba, and Wheeler's contract is coming up. How do we do all this ??? I believe he's making $ 7 mil this year, and half is retained by St.Louis. Winnipeg pays $ 3.5 approx right now.
We could trade off Perrault-- buy out Mason-- "not resign Enstrom" and trade of Kulikov -- just some ideas.
Statsny could be a key to a Stanley Cup run this year, but is getting older, and do you resign him, and what players are you going to lose.
Like to hear your comments, and what course of action do you think Chevy will pursue on this Statsny issue-- how much $$ and how long will he go -- or will he just let him walk like with Ladd ???
