ESPOSITO TO DALLAS FOR ROMAN

The Dallas Stars acquired center Angelo Esposito from the Florida Panthers for forward Ondrej Roman.

What does it give the Dallas Stars
Esposito's once-promising career has taken a bad turn, mostly due to injury. He now appears to be in tough to become an NHL regular, but the Stars are taking another shot with him.

What does it give the Florida Panthers
Roman is a bit more versatile than Esposito, but he too appears to be stalled in terms of his NHL development. A change of scenery can't hurt at this point, just like it won't hurt Esposito.
