Has to do with age I'm pretty sure. Same thing happened to Kuznetsov with Washington.

Ya anyone age 20-23 only have to sign 2 yr deals, 24-25 1 yr deals.

Steinberg posted lines from today (practice, I guess) with no Agostino in them.

InfinityIggy · Mar 17, 2014

Darn, wonder if we see him in a game this year.

Calculon · Mar 17, 2014

Should be interesting to see what kind of player Agostino is. It's good that he's signed though.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Hartley wants him to get at least one practice with the team before getting him into a game.

it's going to be great to finally see the pieces from the iggy trade on the flames, if they dont send Hanowski down, its just too bad they'll probably be bottom 6 guys

YMCMBYOLO · Mar 17, 2014

lol, are you guys getting that spanish from google translate? Because the way you guys are talking, the grammar is so wrong

I think Agostino has top six upside. He's a Ryan Callahan-type player.

Callahan is barely a top six, IF he even is

That's a peculiar statement. He was scoring above 0.5 PPG on a Tortorella team. How is that not good enough for second line duty?

"Peculiar" wasn't the adjective that first came to my mind. But yeah, a former 29 goal / 50 point guy is more than a third line player.

I see Agostino as more like Curtis Glencross - can score, will do everything pretty good, a 2nd/3rd line tweener.

This would be nice, but the thing that makes Glencross truly special to the Flames is his loyalty to the organization and his wonderful contract he accepted in order to stay, I doubt we'll get the same from Agostino.

What has Agostino done to make you think he won't be loyal?

Absolutely nothing, but he is not an Albertan which is the reason for Glencross' unyielding loyalty that is extremely rare amongst the majority of players around the league.

Glencross is from Saskatchewan. He stays loyal to the Flames because he likes the stampede.

Ah, yes, you're right. Well here's hoping Agostino loves him some Stampede as well

HighLifeMan · Mar 17, 2014

Nice! I have high hopes for this kid and believe he will be an every day NHL player at some point (hopefully in Calgary). It is also nice that he is a New Jersey native and grew up playing hockey in the same area as Gaudreau. That should give Johhny a little more familiarity within the organization and incentive to turn pro hopefully!

Kenny Agostino

Seems like a good guy and I like his size. I see a couple sites have him listed at 6'-1" while the Flames have him at 6'0" and 210lbs.

Almost a point per game this season at Yale.

Kenny could make the Flames team next year which I believe he will.

Another good signing by Burke and the Flames.

I can't imagine him playing on the Flames next year. If he could play RW maybe but at LW with Hudler, GlenX, Bouma, Sven, Granlund(Lw in Abbs), Reinhart(Lw in Abbs), Klimchuck all fighting with him I don't think he wins a spot. Hopefully I'm wrong and he surprises but I wouldn't expect him to make it.

There's going to be a battle for starting positions at training camp which is good.

I also think we'll see some players being moved via trades this summer.

My guess would be that Reinhart, Hudler and Baertschi could get moved this summer.

Interesting ideas, of course I was assuming no trades.

Hartley says no decision if Agostino will play tomorrow. #Flames

In other news, Knight has been sent back. I have no problems with that. Hopefully he comes into camp more ready next year.

You got to think the Flames free up the log jam on the left somehow, even for development purposes. Someone has to be getting top 6 minutes in Abby! So it begs the question: who's deep on the right but weak on the left that would make the ideal trading partner?

Johnny Hoxville · Mar 17, 2014

I don't think Reinhart, Granlund or Sven will be moved, maybe Sven but I doubt it. I think Hudler could absolutely be dealt. I also think one of those guys will tried on the RW, Hartley has no problems with shuffling guys around.

Kanye · Mar 17, 2014

I'm excited to see how he does. When was the last time we had an NCAA player actually play for us other than Knight or Colbourne.
