Agostino looks like a solid pick-up, even if he was a 3rd round pick. He's a 20 ear old leading his NCAA squad in scoring, albeit a relatively weak one. Hanowski looks like a dark horse pick-up, he has a strong 2011-12 campaign but his production dropped sharply this year. Also, being a 22 year old you expect more in the NCAA. He does have more size than Agostino, so he might have a future as a 3rd line winger some day.
Assuming the Flames' draft position doesn't change much (I.e. able to grab Seth Jones, for example) -- I'm now hoping the Flames go after Alexandr Barkov. Barkov looks like a top-line center of the future, and he's not your typical Russian -- he's a Finnish born Russian -- which is the best kind of Russian. He also has size (6'4") and amazing hands.
That Pens pick could very well be a 30th overall with how stacked the Pens roster is now.
