I trust that they will continue to give him sheltered minutes, but he has lots of growing left to do and it needs to happen sooner to have the strength to be a d-main in this league

Yeah, it's one thing being young in the WHL, it's a whole other thing being young and tiny. I remember Addison being realy tentative as 16 and 17 year old as well. Especially when it was time to go to the tough areas like in the corners or in front of the net. You could always see his elite skating abd puck handling abilities though, and knew he was going to turn into something.
