Addison's role, with Minnesota before being traded to the San Jose Sharks, was as a third pairing defender at even strength ... but he was used as a distributor on the first power-play unit
He's a 'transitional D' who can lead the rush when he escapes pressure in his zone, or outlet pucks and join the rush as an extra layer.
When he gets the edge off the rush, especially on his strong side, he has a gear and takes the play to the net.
Addison is a light, area defender in his zone. He attempts to keep his check to the perimeter with an active stick and his small area agility. When his man sets up shop, in and around his crease, he is generally at a physical disadvantage at the NHL level.
A young, right shot, defenseman who is very likely to QB the PP in San Jose and provide a second layer of offense.
He averaged 16:48 TOI for the Wild. 12:36 ES - 4:11 PP -
