Just watched Agostino & Yale's big win which was broadcast late on ESPN today in the UK. He looks like a player. Quick skater, though looks like he has a slightly clumsy stride. Good positionally & forechecks hard. Great pass on his assist and got into just the right position for his empty net goal. I think he physically outmatched his college opposition & I wonder if he could be convinced to turn pro next year to hone his game in the AHL?
Just based on this one viewing I'd compare him to Glenncross (when Glenny is interested in playing solid 2-way hockey) with slightly better vision/IQ, though I don't know if he has as accurate & fast shot. Definitely a good 2nd liner in the next couple of years.
As a side note, I thought Yale's goalie Jeff Malcolm (free agent senior) looked very, very solid. Lethbridge boy. Someone will definitely sign him after the Frozen Four.
