Ken Agostino

Talent Analysis

Agostino's style of game very much meshes with what the Penguins look for in forwards. He has a good motor, high compete level, and good hockey instincts.

Offensively Agostino posted gaudy numbers at the high school level and while that offense clearly is still there at the collegiate level, his compete level and willingness to play in the dirty areas of the ice are his greatest virtues. He is a solid north-south skater, and while not overly big, he is strong on his skates and not afraid to play a physical brand of hockey.

Ben Hanowski

Talent Analysis

Ben Hanowski is an offensively-minded, goal-scoring forward who brings a mix of size, skill, and character to the rink. The Minnesota native also possesses uncanny vision and does his best work when the puck is on his stick. A shooter by trade, Hanowski has also shown solid puck-distribution abilities and can create either off the cycle or on the rush.

Possessing solid size and supple hands, Hanowski needs to gain more explosiveness in his first step and learn to play a simpler, north-south type of game. He also must learn to become more creative in tighter spaces.
