Just throwing this out there for fun:
Kitchener and Windsor have sort of a relationship now after having done an "I'll scratch your back you scratch mine" trade (Bracco/ Stanley), that was a little controversial because of their "circumvention" of the "Kadri rule" if you will.
How about they do another controversial deal that comes close to circumventing another trade deadline rule?
The league put a rule in place to prevent teams from loaning players to other teams and then having them traded right back in the off-season. I believe the rule states that a player can't go back to the team he came from for 13 months. For example, back in 1990, Windsor "loaned" Jason York to the Rangers for their memorial cup run only to send York right back to Windsor in the off-season. That type of trade is no longer allowed.
For discussion, how about Windsor sends DiPietro and Vilardi to Kitchener for a sizeable package. For arguments sake, (we can debate the actual price) let's say six 2nds and six 3rds. Then at next year's trade deadline, they can be sent right back to Windsor along with Grayson Ladd for less of a package - say three 2nds and three 3rds.
Dec 1st:
To Kitchener: DiPietro and Vilardi
To Windsor: six 2nds and six 3rds
Jan 3,2019:
To Kitchener: three 2nds & three 3rds
To Windsor: DiPietro, Vilardi and Ladd.
Rangers would get a couple of ringers for this year's playoff run for a cost of, once part two of the deal is done, Ladd, three 2nds and three 3rds. Windsor get Ladd, three 2nds and three 3rds for, in effect, renting a couple of players. Then depending on their situation next year, Windsor could either keep them for a possible playoff run or sell them off for large assets at that deadline.
All that would have to happen is that the deal would be done say December 1 of this year. Then part two of the deal happens in the first week of January 2019. That would complete the 13 month window which is within the rules. It would give the Spits a few days get get a deal done next January should they decide to move one or both of them at that deadline.
There has been talk on here as to whether or not DiPietro would waive his NTC. I'm betting he would for this type of trade if he knew he was coming back to Windsor at next years trade deadline to possibly finish his OHL career as a Spitfire.
Of course, conditions would have to be in place in the event one or both of Vilardi and DiPietro aren't returned to the OHL next year or if they suffer some kind of long-term injury etc. It would be a complicated deal but it could be done.
