What are you babbling about now? I was backing up your point that Agostino should be higher than Arnold, but thanks for showing once again that I should never agree with you.
Flames needed an offensive player to call-up and play in the top-9. Agostino has been steady all year and has solid stats to back it up. He matched last years point production in 17 less games played.
Arnold went from .62 PPG to .47 PPG, but I assume he is one of the top shutdown guys in Stockton this year. Still hard not to draw red flags from that. Also had injury troubles this season.
While you need to look past the stats when comparing an offensive LWer to a defensive Centreman, I still think Agostino should be ahead of Arnold in the depth chart all things considered.
The Flames have enough depth players who can't score. I still see Agostino as having 2nd-3rd line offensive upside.
