The size argument always pisses me off when guys like Kane, Crosby, Kaprizov, Giroux, Kucherov and Point are all under 6 and are some of the best in the league rn 😂
Greenway is like 6'6 300 and he looks like butter melting on some hot pancakes trying to stay afloat. It's not the size of the person, but more so how they play and position their body. The guys you mention know how to position themselves and protect the puck, but IMO Addison still has a lot to learn with this and especially the defensive side as it's horrendous, but still not as bad as DOOMba..
Addison's problem is he doesn't use his legs to drive through players and move them off the puck. You cannot glide and keep following people around the goal. He does this far too often. He has a great shot and unlike Dumba, Addison hots the damned net! I just think he needs to drive through and get the check instead of being satisfied with angular deflection. I cannot wait til Dumba is outta here! They put the A on the front of the sweater to make fake trade value. Just like a cheap coat of paint on a rust bucket...nobody's buyin' so he's a rental til the end of the season.
Plenty of room for Addison's defensive game to improve, but that's hard to do without ice time unfortunately... Dumba certainly has his flaws and fans have a WIDE range of opinions on his play, but the one thing we'll confidently say is that his leadership is no joke and the 'A' was legit. Thanks for all the input and for tuning in!

RIGHT!? Look at Avs defense...not the biggest guys at all

Love Addison!
It's not the height. It's his weight and strength that hurts him. He'll continue to struggle defensively
