On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we break down the Calen Addison signing! We look at what Addison brings to the team and what he can work on as he grows as an NHL player. We discuss the circumstances that led to his benching late in the season, and why he shouldn't be held responsible for all of the defensive struggles of the third pairing. We look at what could happen with Addison after the season is over and what his Restricted Free Agent status means for a potential deal in the future. We also discuss the makeup of the roster and why, with extremely limited funds, the list of players who could fill the 13th forward position is limited. We discuss why players who should get a chance, such as Sammy Walker, likely will have to wait until next season unless someone suffers a major injury during the season. We also finish by discussing the likelihood of an in season trade, and why it is doubtful to happen unless someone is moved off the roster in return. We look at the status of all of the impending UFAs, and why some of the more desirable to move likely won't want to go anywhere.
