Another missing piece is an actual competent AHL coach who can properly develop the prospects.
10000% agreed!
And I have said it in a few different threads, I see Bergevin cleaning house in the AHL this summer.

......you like something the organization did??
But seriously, I'm expecting this guy to be a solid bottom six player.......although I was expecting the same thing with Gregoire.....sooooo.....
No but why are we wasting contract space on a guy who will likely never play more than 25 games in the NHL.
Really? Are we now complaining about signing our draft picks?
Career average of under 1pt/gm (0.72) in the OHL. No WJC, Not particularly big or intimidating, not much offensive skill.
Another Bargainbin special!
The final piece of the puzzle.
The kid is a 7th round pick! Did you expect a generational player?
If he can develop into a solid bottom 6 player it will be a fantastic pick.

A 20 years old that cant even put up a point per game in junior.

I can probably find 100+ players over a ppg in junior who never played more than 5 games in the NHL?
What does ppg amount too? He's a 7th rounder also.
Addison is ok but the player i'm really intrigued about is Bradley, he looked really good this year.
You need to see him play before throwing out this kind of comment. He is a LOT better than you give him credit for.
By the same token why did DD ever even play in the AHL.
Lindgren, McNiven, and Fucale all in Laval?
Gregoire can't skate, Addison seems to be a lot better. We got our Simmonds!
How many NHLers can you find that never put over a ppg in juniors? That's the real question.
Just for fun, here's a quick list I've made from 2005 to 2012 Drafts with players from the CHL. Each player never had a single season of at least 1 ppg.
Name total ppg
Josh Anderson 0.64
Jordan Martinook 0.64
Andrew Shaw 0.56
Joseph Cramarossa 0.59
Jordan Nolan 0.57
Nicolas Deslauriers 0.65
Zac Rinaldo 0.37
Dale Weise 0.64
Zack Smith 0.5
Lance Bouma 0.52
Dwight King 0.69
Brandon Sutter 0.75
Milan Lucic* 0.65
Ryan Reaves 0.39
Not a list of great players. The best one is probably Lucic, but he played in the NHL at 19 years old. Then, maybe Shaw and Smith.
