Little has a bit of fire in him and something to prove. I think he started off last season trying to show management he was a viable 2C and was doing a very good job of it.
He's the consumate team player, always in great shape and very competitive. I remember Maurice saying he has never seen him in his office complaining about anything like almost every other player on the team and was VERY easy to coach. Great for faceoffs, very smart defensively and rarely loses position on his check in his D zone. I was a BIG Trouba fan but loved Little's comments when Trouba was holding out and a reporter asked him a question about Trouba. Something to the effect of let's worry about the guys in the dressing room wearing the Jets uniform.
I think if Little comes back, he's going to silence a lot of his critics.
If the Jets hoist the Stanley Cup, Little should be the 2nd player to hold it.
