Player Discussion Kenny Agostino

[ahmedou]

Perpetual rushes Kenny doing on his shifts. Battling without struggling. Underrated hands.

 

[tooji]

Honestly him and the entire 4th line have been money the last few games. They are all big, and can skate. They are relentless on the forcheck.

Metamorphosed his gamestyle overall. Less tedious.

 

[Tyson]

Can’t help but like this kid. Perseverance is paying off.

Of course, those kinds of 4th liners had an short expiration date...

 

[Habs4Life]

He's goood

 

[Vachon23]

His a really good 4th line player !

 

[1909]

His a really good 4th line player !

Scherbak is waaaaaayyyyy better

 

[JianYang]

Agostino seems pretty confident right now. When he's playing like this, he can be utility guy rather than a strict 4th liner

Although they don't have top 9 puck skills, they all can play the game more than your typical 4th liners from years past.

 

[Tyson]

He has 8 points?

 

[Belial]

This guy is killing it!

 

[Agalloch]

This guy is killing it!

The guy can even replace for a few games on the top 9. I don't see him being with the Habs in 2 years but for now, he's good. He's making Hudon expendable.

 

[De Montreal]

Not sold on him. Last year people were raving about Hudon. Two years ago we were all fond of Daniel Carr. Those bottom six forward come and goes.

Agostino doesn't have their offensive talent, but he's more reliable. He plays a sound all around game. He's a modern day 4th liner: doesn't have the offense, but is responsible defensively, has speed, and at least isn't lost in the offensive zone.

He's similar to Bryan Flynn and Torrey Mitchell, but better. He's very different than Carr and Hudon. Those two are great offensively, but slow as molasses.

Neither one were as good as Kenny.

 

[Agalloch]

Neither one were as good as Kenny.

Agree. He's a better AHLer than both of them.

 

[Habssince89]

Kenny is a 3rd liner tops, and he's playing like one right now. I like his hands, which are subtle and efficient. I like his decision making and his physical tools, too. He's never going to score 20, but he can become a very good two-way bottom six forward. And what others have said is true, he could become the flavour of the season like Carr was, etc. That doesn't concern me, for now he's killing it and CJ is obviously having a good impact on him.

 

[417]

He's difficult to separate from the puck...smart player, makes up for less than ideal foot speed with being strong and well positioned.

 

[CauZuki]

Agostino is a hard worker , always noticeable , has way better offensive instincts than Deslauriers.

My 4th line is:

Agostino - Chaput/Peca - Peca/Chaput

Hudon doesn't fit on the 4th line and I really don't like Deslauriers game. I think Chaput gets waived once Armia is back , assuming no new injuries.

I think Deslauriers is the perfect spare forward...he doesn't need to play every game, but he's good to have around for specific matchups or when you want to change the dynamic.

Hudon's just being wasted and he's a few days away from being another player lost on waivers.

Yeah, part of me doesn't want to lose Hudon , I find strong chemistry on a the 4th line can really energize the rest of the team.
It's really a shame as he isn't playing better than anybody in our top 9 and simply doesn't have any business on the 4th line.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Hopefully he’s a real 4th line warrior.

He did say

Neither one were as good as Kenny.

they were not even close to him, nor skill nor work ethic . He is a top 4th liner and can fill above for a short time

Well he did win an ahl scoring title, so you need offensive flair to outscore the whole league wherever one plays
