when did Little become a really good and very underrated player? someone neglected to tell me
So you are saying Little is not underrated?
I think he's ignored a lot. If he isn't scoring people don't give him props. IMHO he's the perfect top 6 forward. He ALWAYS seems to make the right defensive reads and plays, and executes offensively at a very consistently high level.
There are periods on here people don't even talk about Bryan Little, or include him haphazardly in trade proposals. All the while he just goes about his business, being our best all round forward, game in and game out.
So, yeah, I think he is oft underrated here.
