Report: Maple Leafs to sign forward Kenny Agostino to two-year, one-way deal

 

[BertCorbeau]

Cool.

Provide some good competition for the youngsters, and would likely clear waivers if needed.

The second year on a one-way salary is important for that.

 

[SprDaVE]

Solid Marleau replacement at a fraction of the price 5 on 5 if he plays like he did with the Devils. Likely takes some PK reps.

If he doesn't play up to expectations, he's a great AHL player.

 

[Warden of the North]

Seems like a setup for expanaion eligibility?

 

[stickty111]

Nice underrated cheap signing.

I'm sure we'll have better options available to Seattle.

 

[pylon17]

Gets lots of hits.

 

[TimeZone]

Worth the small.

And by small risk I mean non-existent risk.

 

[Buds17]

Not very much NHL experience prior to this past season. That AAV on a multi year deal is not exactly going to be problematic though. Hyman's injury should help with an opportunity, and Agostino may very well remain in the mix even after Hyman returns and settles in.

 

[Kiwi]

Nice

He's a defensively responsible forward with speed getting close to league minimum that can PK on a 2 year no risk deal

There's your cheap Brown replacement ladies and gentlemen

 

[Menzinger]

These 700k signs are great. They either make the team or get buried with no cap implications

 

[hamzarocks]

This is a B signing by Dubas which has the potential to become a A if Agostino pots 15-20 goals next season. If not he serves as a injury replacement and can go tear up the AHL. Nice move, gor him for 300k less than I'd expect based off o his stats.

700k for potentially 8-10 goals, solid 2 way play and 200 hits over a full season is already an A.

Not a lot of NHL mileage on him either. Should be able to offer that high energy game for two years before he prices himself out of our bottom 6 moneyball budget.

I didnt give an A just b/c his expected role is small and he wont be a huge impact player. 8-10 goals is him meeting expectations and being a decent 4th liner. If he pots 15-20 goals(think he can if he gets some top 6 time with human out and some 2nd unit pp time) than he is more valuable in his impact on the game for us and playing like a high end 3rd liner. For me exceeding your role through production while having a low ass cap hit would earn him an A-A+. Still dont see anyway this deal could suck for us barring a Babcock thrill developing for the guy.

Oh man those are some harvard level admissions haha. If he pots 15 goals he guarantees Dubas GM of the year.

 

[Mr Hockey]

never heard of him, he should help the Marlies

 

[MyBudJT]

Can't complain, will be interesting to see how he performs in camp. Could just be another Josh Jooris-lite situation though.

 

[MJ65]

I love these kind of signings - could work out well for us

 

[Isaac Nootin]

He's probably your 4th line LW with the Leafs.

 

[Stephen]

If we move on from Connor Brown, we'll need a guy who doesn't do much to replace him.

Do you think he beats out Petan for that spot?
