We know the big discrepancy between CSS and ISS on Esposito---#1NA skater at CSS vs. #10 overall at ISS....while Kyle Woodlief's Redline report for January isn't out on usatoday.com,in another article written in usatoday on the topic of the CCS rankings,that articles says that Esposito is not a consensus #1 on NHl teams scouting lists,and also it quotes Woodlief who let out that Esposito is not in his top 3 --Woodlief then goes on to really diss Esposito for his indifferent play and lack of passion on several occasions that he's viewed him,and that being cut from team Canada on the first day says a lot...a lot of scouts expected much more of Esposito this year after his 98 pts last year --but i don't care how many points he scored there is just something in his play that fails to wow me everytime I've had occaision to see him play (and that was last year!) --I have not seen him play this year--so the Top Prsospects Game should go a long way to deciding the mater--yes it is only 1 game--but if he pulls a stinkeroo,then that should once and for all tell you whether CSS is out to lunch on him --but if he shines,then maybe they saw something in him that ISS,Woodlief and me have all missed...we'll observe carefully and then comment.
