Little's versatility is one of the reasons I'm not always open to trading him.
Realistically, he's a RW who can play C in a pinch, much like Antropov, which should scream we need C's as those were our top 2 last year. I think keeping him helps protect our future roster against devastating injuries up the middle.
In the future I agree he should be put on the wing while guys like Burmistrov or Scheifele play in the middle. I also don't see his size as being as big an issue as he's obviously a two-way player who is very solid in the defensive game. While his offensive numbers should go up playing on the wing.
Once again great write up!
Agreed, esp with the bolded.
So, if Little is a RW who can play C in a pinch, and Scheif is a C who can play RW in a pinch, and Ladd is...Ladd, I see the makings of an awesome second line...potent both offensively and defensively. It's almost enough to make me change my mind about sending Scheif back to Barrie....almost.
