WINNIPEG - Bryan Little hasn't even met him yet, but the very idea of centering a line with Patrik Laine is enough to put a smile on his face.
"I've watched him quite a bit at the World Cup and all throughout the summer," Little said. "He's a special player and that would be a pretty fun guy to have on my wing. … But I know that once camp rolls around, everything can get shifted and once the season starts, (the coaches) can play with the combinations all year."
