Getting to know seventh round pick Jeremiah Addison

When selecting a player in the seventh round, one can hardly expect a team to select a game breaking offensive talent. In selecting Jeremiah Addison from the Ottawa 67s, the Canadiens didn't get that, but they did manage to grab themselves a defensive specialist.

Jeremiah is noted to possess some explosive speed, most evident in his back checking, where he is not the type to coast whatsoever. His play without the puck appears to be quite good; a player who finishes his checks and displays a fierce dedication to playing well in his own zone. Great penalty killer, and able to take on tough defensive minutes while still providing a measure offensive flair.
