So he could join the Reign at the end of the season but his career is in jeopardy? Who was this "someone"?
Did the Kings not do their due dillegence when scouting Vilardi. Obvious top 5 talent at that draft but he fell probably because teams knew about his back and his slow skating.
Im certain they had his medical report.
It seems like someone dropped the ball big time w. The Kings and gambled big time...
Necas Brannstrom and Suzuki were all still available.
Best of luck to a healthy life for Gabe. Hockey is just a game
****in clown bro. Supposed to be a star Blakey was wet when he got to draft Vilardi they thought he top 3 but boy is all injuries , bust
Yup, in my opinion a comment like this has no credibility what so ever...So he could join the Reign at the end of the season but his career is in jeopardy? Who was this "someone"?
Any updates? How is he doing?
One of my favs in the CHL and going into the draft. As a person with back issues I know the pain of trying to play hockey. If you can't bend safely or with certainty, yikes.
I feel bad for the kid, I doubt he is gonna bounce back. He has a history of injuries, mostly his back. Knowing how tough it is to get that fixed (if there even is a way), his NHL career is in my eyes in jeopardy.
The Kings being dead silent about giving an update, ANY update, worries me. I get the feeling that they don't want to give the fans hope he is gonna pan out. Better to keep being silent than to tell bad news...
If he doesnt bounce back, that is a huge loss.
His skating is awful but he is the best playmaker of that whole draft, great hands and an excellent shot on top of it.
I would assume they would want to keep him in house at this point and with their doctors full time no?Technically he can play junior next year, maybe that will be better for him. Say he is ready around December, maybe he can train a little with the Kings, then be sent down to juniors
