The Winnipeg Jets have signed Bryan Little to a six-year, $31.75 million contract extension.
The deal carries an average annual value of $5.291 million.
Little was entering the final season his five-year, $23.5 million contract he signed with the Jets in 2013.
The 29 year old posted 21 goals and 47 points in 59 games last season.
TIOPS Takeaway: For the Jets, it’s a situation where they’ll be paying for several non-paying years but for a franchise that struggles to attract high-end free agents and a GM who is gun shy of making bold trades, this was a deal they had to make.
They’ll be paying for non-paying years? What does that mean?
That sentence made no sense. He’ll be 35 when the deal is up.
Wasted money.
Yup, way too much.
