He's proboly just predicting what will happen in the draft. Someone will proboly take Esposito around there. It's not what you think, but what the gm's think.
Houde's 2007 mock draft
--------------
17.Angelo Esposito
A bust. Soft,unwilling to pay the price,bad teammate,lazy,over-rated offensive abilities, do not know how to use his
linesmates,selfish on power plays,he relys on his skills only,bring no grit.ECHL superstar at best. Nice speed,impressive
changing gears.. but never uses that in a real game.Scared to be touch.
Upsideatrik Stefan
Downside:Alexandre Daigle
If is upside are like Komisarek's upside... Its pretty cool for him.
Komisarek is very, very above average in his own, mean streak, first d-men in the league for hits, among the first for blocked shots, he skate pretty fast for a big guys, can put some point on the scoreboard (4-11-15) he is +5 while he is playing always against the other team'S first line. And trust me +5 in Montreal is awesome every player are in the minus.
So if Alzner upside is Komisarek I don't know why you are so upset... And Warrener is a good defensive d-men. (Not close to Komisarek though and a lot older).
The Turris comparison/upside to Primeau seems odd. Maybe its cuase when I picture Primeau, I see a huge guy but Turris is small. But wouldn't Paul Kariya or Daniel Briere be more appropriate for him?
Good read, but Kane does not have that extra gear like Bure has. Kane really really really needs to work on his top end gear. It has gotten better, but if he develops that he will be that much better. It will be scary. He reminds me of a poor mans version of Malkin, minus the size and speed, to a tee.
Esposito's upside is Stefan? Even if you think he's a bust, his "upside" still is high as of right now.
I agree with what you said about him though.
If Shattenkirk's upside is Mark Streit, he might as well retire now.
Shattenkirk's upside is far more than Mark freakin' Streit.
