Neither excelling or failing.
At the very least, value wise, you probably have to give it to Pollock, at the time of their respective trades anyway.
Pollock is also more versatile in that he can play all 3 forward positions, where Agostino is just a LW.
I'm not saying it's a big gap, but Pollock was more highly regarded based off draft position alone. Like it or not, draft position does factor into trade value to an extent. Obviously play trumps all but it's not like either player did poorly post draft, or exceedingly well either. They both project to be bottom 6 players from everything I've read as well.
