The lack of production from the Jets' third line was a significant factor to their inability to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals. The 30-year-old's productivity during the regular season was far superior, as he cracked the 40-point mark for the fifth consecutive season and eighth time overall. If Paul Stastny doesn't re-sign with Winnipeg, Little is a near lock to rejoin the second line alongside Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers, which will provide increased opportunities to rack up points during the 2018-19 campaign.","date":"Tue May 22"},"fullName":"Bryan Little","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The Jets are officially stacked when it comes to scoring, from Mark Scheifele (82 points last year), Blake Wheeler (74) and Patrik Laine (64), to Nikolaj Ehlers (64) and Dustin Byfuglien (54). But Little is the budding star that never really blossomed, and as such, he's sometimes overlooked in fantasy circles. His 47 points in 59 games last year amount to an 82-game pace of 65, which would have been a new career high for the 29-year-old. Insulated nicely at the No. 2 pivot position behind Scheifele, Little should have every opportunity to get back to the 60-point plateau if he can just stay healthy. In terms of red flags, his 2016-17 shooting percentage of 17.6 is due for regression, but with enough offensive firepower surrounding him, a return to 40 assists should be within reach.","seasonId":2018,"date":"Wed Oct 4"},"playerRater30DAY":0,"playerRater15DAY":-1.4,"positionRank":69}
