There is a kid from Quebec (Angelo Esposito) that is a year or two older that will probably be the top pick in 07. He also looked very good the few times I saw him play this season.

But "The Next Sidney"? What the hell does that even mean? The next #1 pick? Does that make Esposito "The Next Tavares"? Maybe the people who live down the hall from me are parents of "The Next Esposito". I'm sure he'll be draft-eligible in 16 years or so.
Give me a break already.

Relax, bud. Don't give yourself an aneurysm over it. I was just saying that because, like Sidney, this kid is making waves at a very young age. Sid was popping up in articles when he was around 15. Go outside and get some fresh air.

Didn't mean to snap at you though, more at the people who come up with labels like this. And you're right, I do need to get some fresh air. Curse you, steady paycheck and demanding clients!
