Prospect Watch: Addison likely for World Junior team

Calen Addison will most likely play for Canada in the World Junior Championship this winter.

Addison, 19, was not one of last week's cuts from Canada's selection camp, but that didn't quite mean he had made the team's roster yet.

Players playing for NHL teams must receive permission from their team to participate in their tournament. Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson could have potentially knocked a defenseman off the roster, but the Islanders said on Tuesday that they would not be allowing Dobson to attend the tournament.

That leaves Canada's likely defense pairings as:

Jared McIsaac -- Ty Smith
Kevin Bahl -- Jacob Bernard-Docker
Bowen Byram -- Calen Addison
Jamie Drysdale

The final 22-man roster does not have to be submitted to the IIHF until Dec.
