From fifth-last pick to an NHL contract. Not bad.

The Montreal Canadiens announced the signing of forward Jeremiah Addison to a three-year, entry-level contract Friday.

Addison, 20, was the 207th player selected out of 211 in 2015. From Brampton, Ontario, the left-shooting winger stands 6-feet tall and weighs 190 pounds.

This season, Addison has 24 goals and 19 assists in 51 games in the OHL. His best junior season came in 2015-16, when he had 27 goals and 29 assists in 66 games. He suited up in four games for Montreal's AHL affiliate last season, as well, recording an assist in four games.

Addison has some offense in his stick and plays a rough game. He ranks second on his Windsor team this season with 62 penalty minutes.
