Even simpler than that... Live out your dream, or stay in school.

It's not even just thousands. If he can't be sent down then he will surely hit the 100k mark not counting the signing bonus. Not only that but his AHL salary is 90k next year. His signing bonus is 90k for each year. He will be close to 400k in earnings if not more by this time next year. Not bad for a guy that hasn't played a single pro game yet.

Tempting, but for his benefit, when's he's not at the rink, he should ensure that he finishes his degree. That will the best investment he could make, given that professional hockey can come and go at a split second; it could end any time.

No reason why he can't wrap up his academic responsibilities in the summer while training.

Wasn't there an article in the Sun (sue me their sports section is just way better then the Heralds) where he talked about trying to arrange to get some papers submitted or exams written or something like that.

I think he was pretty close to his degree

Sounds like the chemistry with him and Monahan/Colborne will be just fine.

Whoever put up that pic with Sid from Ice Age should be shot. Now every time I look at Ken, I think of Sid's face rather than his. Someone should make a gif out of that.

If Agostino's nickname isn't Sid, it would be a major missed opportunity.

Yup, a very very positive indicator that the kid might be a bit more than a middle tier prospect.

In 2 separate interviews Aggy's talked about throwing some big hits to get started. He was an agitator in College, lets see if he can put his money where his mouth is in the bigs.

Nothing better than seeing new blood stir the pot. Even though he amounted to nothing, those Aliu hits were damn entertaining when the reactions commenced.
------------------------------------------------

Edit: Maybe if Agostino does what he says he's going to do and throws the body lots, we can nickname him Auger.

Can't be forgetting now, aside from Monahan and Gaudreau, he was one of the few most impressive players in throughout development camp. Really good skater from what I remember. Can't wait to see him play.
