Triumph Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm not a fan of D'Agostini's but this is a guy who's basically another Bobby Butler, albeit more expensive. I also don't like that Pesonen was the guy sent down instead of clown-shoes Sestito. Also to qualify D'Agostini the Devils would have to send him a QO of almost $2M, which seems incomprehensible.

socbrian Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Lou stikes again I think who is trying to see how many contracts he needs to hand out this off season. We have 11 RFA/UFA on the NHL roster right now. Then there is Joferson / Teds / Kinkaid / frazee plus more in the minors. Bust off season for lou Edited March 22, 2013 by socbrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 And the year after he left he put in 21 goals. But you're so terribly quick on making up your mind on how good a young, developing player is that you'll ignore that nugget of truth. Not having time to look it up, I wonder if someone on the Blues got hurt that year, then D'Agostini got some time on a line that he ordinarily wouldn't have. His numbers that season were almost a quantum leap over the rest of his career. SOG per game were up a little that season, but not that much.

Zubie#8 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well at least he has some speed and Blues fans are saying he has a very good shot. Hopefully he sticks unlike Butler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Poni might be injured for a while. He skated today. Unless it's some kind of condition that won't fix itself, could get worse, and if it does get worse, would require surgery, this seems unlikely. The Devils also have not IR'd him, choosing instead to send down Pesonen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenstatepkwy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Scott Burnside @ESPN_Burnside8m Devils add another unwanted spare part in D'Agostini now destined for top-six minutes, PP glory and playoff run as per Devils handbook.

Marshall Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not having time to look it up, I wonder if someone on the Blues got hurt that year, then D'Agostini got some time on a line that he ordinarily wouldn't have. His numbers that season were almost a quantum leap over the rest of his career. SOG per game were up a little that season, but not that much. Oshie, McDonald and Perron missed a lot of time that year and before they traded for Stewart & Shattenkirk you have to assume D'Agostini got a lot of ice time. He was pretty steady around 16 minutes per game and got PP time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Henrique as a 3rd liner? Right now he's the team's primary scorer. This is a deck-chair move and nothing more. Edited March 22, 2013 by maxpower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I can't see them getting over the Gionta hump - healthy, he's in the lineup. Henrique as a 3rd liner? Right now he's the team's primary scorer. This is a deck-chair move and nothing more. Yeah I'm sure that 25% shooting percentage is bound to stay where it is. It's not deck chair re-arranging if you don't give up anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure that 25% shooting percentage is bound to stay where it is. It's not deck chair re-arranging if you don't give up anything. The majority of them are garbage goals and shooting percentage doesn't count outright misses, which he's had a bunch of this season. His actual % is lower considering he doesn't take many shots Edited March 22, 2013 by maxpower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Looking at his stats, I'm pretty encouraged. He has had abysmal luck the last few years and is averaging less than 12 minutes a game on an offensively challenged Blues team. If anything, it gives us another right handed shooter and added depth. He probably won't score 20 again, but if he puts up 12-15 goals and 30ish points, that's a solid player Edited March 22, 2013 by SMantzas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
