Agostino is a college guy. It's the same thing Ward preached patience about last year. These college guys hit a wall mid season because they aren't used to the game schedule or the life schedule of pro hockey. Hanowski did it, Jooris did it.
I'm not that worried about Agostino. I'm more worried how Huska is handling the college guys as this was one of these things that Ward really seemed to have a better understanding of and better grip of. He helped the guys work through it and had more tolerance for it. I'm not sure Huska has the same understanding or patience as he's not coached that level of player before.
