Stars trade Ondrej Roman to Panthers for Angelo Esposito
Esposito is a center, but I don't know much about him. He was a first-round pick in '07. Does he have potential at the NHL level or is he an AHLer?
Thoughts?

Beat me by a couple minutes!
Hopefully someone deletes my FanShot. I always liked Espo and thought he got the short end of the stick during his junior career. He was once touted as the projected #1 pick of his draft class but his stock fell due to supposed ego issues and a subsequent drop in play. That said, he picked it right back up for the World Juniors in 09. I thought he was one of if not the best player for Canada in the Gold Medal game that year.
That said, I haven’t kept up with him during his minors career and his numbers aren’t the most appealing. We’ll see if he can pick it up in Austin.
Sorry for stealing your thunder! :)
I heard good things about him when he was drafted, but kind of forgot about him. I believe he was traded to Atlanta at one point. Hope he can improve and make strides in our system.
