I absolutely despise some transactions. Some are great: Trades, rookie call-ups, some guy you absolutely loathe watching play for your favorite team get placed on waivers. But sometimes, it’s just a hollow move that will only leave you wanting more. For the Minnesota Wild currently, it’s having rookie defenseman Calen Addison up here and eventually expecting him to get sent down...but should he?
The primary reason why Addison has been given this chance is the injuries to Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon. Without them on the blue line, it was an easy pick to have another dynamic offensive option in Addison make his return to Minnesota.
