from Mike Knobler of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
Angelo Esposito isn’t from hockey’s famous Esposito family, but a couple of years ago he was making a name of his own.
Experts projected him as the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft. A Vancouver Sun story headlined “Is this one the Next One?” said Esposito was “being mentioned in the same breath as Sidney Crosby."…
So what is he doing this week at a Thrashers player development camp, still probably at least a year away from taking the ice for an NHL team?
It’s a story about frustrated expectations, changing perceptions and a youngster who, at age 19, has been given a fresh start at defining who he is and the player he can become.
