I didn't know who Addison is so, sure. whoever you want.
Addison looked like a stud during our covid training camp, and looked right at home with the rest of the NHL'ers. He's still probably about a year, year and a half, from making the jump to the big club.
In terms of his being Dumba's replacement, it's a different play style but same results kinda thing, with a lesser shot but better defensive upside, and a more silky smooth skating finesse approach to his game while being a puck moving defenseman at the same time.
With out a doubt, he's the crown jewel in the Zucker trade and why Pens fans hated it and why it's considered a grand slam by Guerin.
The Wild were already stacked at RD with both Menell and Belpedio waiting in the wings for their shot on the roster, who both have top 4 upside to their game. Adding Addison made trading Dumba all the more certain, as he instantly surpassed both Menell and Belpedio as Dumba's replacement.
That said, I don't think this'll happen. Nor would I be surprised if one of Menell or Belpedio gets dealt this upcoming offseason as part of a larger package for something else.
We'll see i guess.
