Recalled/Assigned: The Canadiens have recalled forward Kenny Agostino

[Adam Michaels]

There are 1000’s of Agostinos around the league

Definitely. But my post still stands, though. He has to go through waivers now.

 

[montreal]

When its garanteed, does it mean that he will for sure be re-call in the season?

no I wouldn't think so, perhaps if not called up they make up the difference as a bonus at the end of season.

Cant say what is up with D-Lo but he is certainly not as good as last year. Could be linemates etc but of all people 4th liners have to go all out all the time. A likely explanation for last year is just having a shot with a new team, plenty of players have more jump after a trade, like DSP and his what, 7 or 9 goals in New Jersey after we traded him. So could be this or that, but could be this is what D-Lo truly is.

Agostina skates well anyway.

 

[De Montreal]

So he's gonna stick with us the whole year instead of risking losing him through waivers? Laval will struggle even more without a proven scorer on their team

I don't think we will lose him on waivers.

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

4 pts in 9 games... another game and he has to go through waivers, do we keep him for now ?

I think he has been the better player on that fourth line so to me he has a spot on this team, unless someone better comes along ...

I agree with this, Deslauriers has been bad and useless alot this year, on the PK he fails to make anything happen, or even physically, he's not fast enough anymore to hit anyone.

well DLO had 2 pts in his last season with the sabers in 42 games then the next season scores 10 in 58 after having just 12 in his career before coming to the Habs. So it's likely that he's just regressing back to his average I'd think.

 

[Habs76]

I really like Agostino's game. Plays with a lot of intensity, first on the forecheck and has a pretty good offensive skillset. He's worth keeping around for now.

Maybe that's part of MBs plan, get all these 4th liners, get a good 20 games out of them and when they regress to mean, pop open another can. And maybe snag a good one every 20.

 

[Harpo]

I don't really care about anyone on this 4th line. I miss the time when we had Hudon-Peca-Shaw or Hudon-Plekanec-Shaw/Peca as a 4th line.

But yeah, Agostino has been better than Deslauriers.

Basically chased a contract and got one.

About D-Lo, I believe that shield he had to wear affected his vision, especially in close. I do not mean hockey vision.. but overall vision.. -- Sure, year 2 is less exciting usually, the novelty is gone.
Maybe he's settled more in just hitting guys and making his presence felt, which is not really the case among forwards other than Agostino or Hudon surprising with a good hard check here and there.

Little french article about Kenny Agostino

Kenny Agostino s’accroche à Montréal

Our new Mathieu Darche?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's about as meat and potatoes as you can get, which is fine for the 4th line. Still, I'd rather see Hudon get Agostino's spot in the end, even if he his warts and isn't perfect for an energy role .

 

[danyhabsfan]

he has surprisingly quick hands.

I would have still waived him, Peca, Deslauriers, Chaput instead of Scherbak.

I'd take my chance on a 22 years old before a 27 years old one.


Scheback might amount to nothing but you go to go with the odds.

 

[Tyson]

Agostino is the perfect 4th line player!

I don’t think Hudon is an nhl quality player. The game is getting faster while he is still too slow.

He is still good enough to be a top 9. He had 30 pts last year. The coach isnt being fair with him.

Hudon takes too many bad penalties and he's skating is a problem.

He had a chance on the top 6 for couple games and he did nothing while Shaw played good after.
