A Blue-Chip NHL ready LHD + a 2nd is the minimum I'd consider.

He is not worth Provorov, Werenski, Juolevi, Sanheim, Sergachev, etc, alone never mind adding a 2nd. Nowhere close. He is a realistically a 2C and that does not get you a blue chip guy.

Kadri + Dermott (coming from a Leafs fan)

Little is better than Kadri but they are close. The difference is not Dermott.

Is Little still a center? I thought he played the wing alot nowadays. Or am I thinking of someone else?

I've thought Larsson + Stoner (cap reasons) for Little wold help both teams, not sure what the Ducks would need to add though.

It really wouldn't be worth it for Winnipeg to trade him. They would never get fair value and he is much too important to trade for spare parts.

He's crucial to Winnipeg and a legit 1C. Don't see why they would trade him at all, unless getting a top-pair calibre LHD.

That's an insulting offer. Larsson doesn't start the discussion.

Little is not for sale. We need some kind of leadership/experience in out top six, and we have that in Little. With the closest replacement being Roslovic, who's still years away, we need him badly.

^ This can't be stated enough.^

Weird thread. Little is not really a guy they'd likely even consider moving right now.

Watch for Bryan Little to have a fantastic season BTW, as he is likely to start at #2C with Finnish goal-scoring machine Patrik Laine slotted to his immediate left.

According to this http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=2119465
He's the 55th ranked forward in the NHL by HFB voters and looks to be in the top 30 centers in the league just glancing over the list. Jets have no reason to trade Little considering the uncertainty of their top 6 center depth. We have Scheifele/Little/Perreault likely as our top 3 centers going forward, and then a bunch of bottom 6 centers like Copp/Lowry/Burmistrov with prospects Petan and Roslovic maybe potentially cracking the top 6 if they reach their full potential.

Somewhere nice
He plays wing
He plays both side
He should be traded for a legit no 1 goalie

Etc. Etc.etc.

Little is really not well known.

He is one of the Jets most I consistent player
A quite leader, score points
Been playing great 2 way pivot as Jets no. 1c for 5 years.
One two punch of Little and. Schiefele will be good to the Jets.

I don't Jets trade him, he will age and retire as a Jet probably as his career winds down, he will be a solid 3c-4c in 3-5years.

We're banking on Connor Hellebuyck being that guy. Jets would never trade Little for a tender at this point.

You need a top HSCA save% goalie to win a cup.

As i stated couple of years ago helenbucyk trended like
Quick; Schnieder; Elliot in NCAA.

HSCA save% last 3 years.
Minimum 1300 HSCA attempts.
#1 Price .889
--------------------
#2 Griess; Talbot .886
#4 Holtby .885
-------------------
#5 halak .882
#6 Jones .881
#7 Elliot; Allen .880
-------------------
#9 Crawford .878
#10 Lundquist .877
-------------------
#11 Schnieder; Bernier .874
#13 Mrazek .873
-------------------
#14 Quick; Fluery; Rask; Neuvirth .871

If helenbucyk continues to trend like the #7-#14 goalies.
it will be alot better than
#31 Pavalec .859
#37 hutchinson .857

Little has the ability to shelter players like the great PvP centers.
