Recalled/Assigned: Kenny Agostino, ermergency basis.

why would they be dumping him in the off-season? He's easily been one of the top players on the farm club the last year and a half; he needs to be a little stronger to make the NHL in my opinion, but he has all the other tools.

I agree. I think it's more so to see if allows them to move on from a player like Jooris (much as I like him).

There's no reason to get rid of a guy like Agostino. If we want the AHL to be a viable place to develop prospects, it requires that a) guys can work on their game in the minors and know that success in the AHL leads to opportunities with the organization and b) that the team is good enough that the players can play in a competitive environment.

If a prospect ends up being nothing more than just a very good AHLer, that's still something that is useful for the organization.

As long as they are not your first rounders


Anyway, he played decent tonight, created several chances.

It's hilarious that a guy that was 6th, 3rd, 2nd and 2nd in his first to fourth years in his team scoring in college and was almost a PPG with 132 points in 134 games, then the leading scorer for the Flames ahl team for the last 2 seasons is being called garabge.

year 3 of College was also a national championship team on which he was a pivotal player, especially in the championship game.

I was gonna say... Why on earth would we get rid of him if he can't crack our lineup? If anything he brings competition and a vet presence to our AHL squad. He's gotten very underrated in the past year.

Keep Agostino, he's Gaudreau's buddy.

 

[Snazu]

I hear he's got really good vision and can see into both corners at the same time!

But seriously, I think he's a guy that's going to crack our lineup next season and be a decent 2nd, 3rd liner. I think the Stempniak comparisons are fairly close
