I think the closest comparable to Agostino is Glencross. Sure sounds like they play the same type of game. That is probably Agostino's ceiling (imo), and that is a heck of a player to be getting if he develops that far. Good skater, tenacious forechecker, solid 2-way play - those are all attributes of Glencross' game. Not saying he will become the next Glencross - just as a comparable to Agostino's ceiling - though Agostino apparently has a high hockey IQ as well, and he may end up breaking through that ceiling. Who knows? He is definitely the kind of depth player that teams need to help become successful.
