The Winnipeg Jets and forward Bryan Little have agreed on a six-year extension, binding the veteran throughout the 2022-23 season.
The new contract is worth almost $32 million US over its duration, which works out to just over five million per season.
Little has been with the Jets/Avalanche franchise since his draft in 2006.
I'm glad Little re-signed. I'm glad he signed long-term. He has been one of the most loyal and consistent players on the Jets since 2011, and even before then while he played four seasons in Atlanta for the former Thrashers.
Little is probably one of the most underrated and underappreciated players in the league. He consistently does what is asked of him without complaint. He is a great role-model for younger players and is still in the prime of his career.
He says he wants to finish his career here. I hope he does. If so, he's a lock for an eventual invitation to the Winnipeg Jets Hall Of Fame, seeing as he is the current franchise leader in points that is still active with the team.
