De Montreal

He just turned 22, so there's still time for him to go to college and get good education while keep playing hockey. Maybe a good choice for him.

From what you've seen, is he a better skater than Hudon? Deslauriers? There weren't concerns about the speed of these players a few years ago, but there are now.

I remember watching him at Memorial Cup and being impressed, thought he could be a solid 4th line energy type guy in the future.
Too bad he went through the injuries.

I think just like Bourque, I can see him going to U-Sports.

ECHL is the end of the road for most hockey players. Kid looked really good 2 years ago. Injuries could have reduced his pretty good skating IMO.

Must be. Kind of odd for him to give upon his career early like this at 22. Especailly, with Burrows there. He made a career out of nothing. I thought he could be another REne Bourque.

Well, 7th Round Pick. Not that other 7th round picks don't pan out (Evans is looking real good in Laval and Primeau is one of the team's top prospects). But I have a hard time qualifying such late picks as busts when they don't pan out.
I think his injury last year that forced him to miss almost the entire season was the big key why he hasn't progressed much. I really liked him and the way he played the game. And I think sending him to the ECHL was the organization's way of tying to get him to play games and get his legs back to be called back up to Laval. But the kid had other plans.

The OHL provides money for its players to go to university after their junior career is over, I think there is a time limit, maybe Addison wanted the college money before it expired.

Fine lets just say he failed with odds stacked against him.
Most for sure. I believe Michael Ryder was sent to the echl though and still managed an NHL career.

Just think it deserves a thread on its own...this is so shocking for me. And a reminder that Development camps are just....development camps. Addison, and deservedly so, was a star during the camp I've seen him. Shining out for all the good reasons. To a point that I was almost certain he'd be a NHL'er to some degree. The speed, the hockey sense, the determination and then...this? ONe of the biggest shocker for me...at least since I don't know the guy personnaly. I guess his close circle knew that for quite a long time now.....I'd love to know what happened....2015 is all on Juulsen now...and a miracle from Vejdemo.

Look around. Tons of 7th rounders, while they don't make the NHL don't see their contract being TERMINATED. Who cares that he was a 7th rounder.......do you need names of players not even drafted that are succesful? Or just even making a AHL career?
2nd year of a 1st contract. And he was more than a 7th rounder, 'cause most 7th rounders don't get a contract period. He did, so they thought he was worth it. 2nd year after giving it, he's not anymore.
