Came here to say this, as usual, beaten to it.

The main Trade Board will have the constant "Vilardi for some team's crap vet + 2nd" new thread every month now.

more like "Vilardi and 2nd for some team's half crap vet"

I remember the draft thread on the main board. All the rage and furor once people realized Vilardi fell to #11. It was delicious.

Oh god... reminds of those incessant "Halak + Ryder + 3rd" trade proposals from several years back.

Nice. Hope he’s ready next year. Too bad he can’t go to Ontario for some pro experience next year.
If he goes back to juniors, what’s he gonna do - score 3ppg?

 

[TruKingFan]

"......if you want to see what an NHL release looks like...." nasty stuff.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Given that his #13 and #73 are taken, does he go the reverse route of wearing #31? Which looks odd on a player since that’s usually a goalie number. Or perhaps he’ll go with Bob Kudelski and Patrice Tardif’s old number, #37.

commentary about vilardi from rosen's twitter is super good stuff to hear too, here's hoping this kid can develop into something really good

2.25+ isn't out of the realm of possibility, especially if he were traded to a loaded team, he would likely leave Kingston as they will lose Cliff Pu and maybe Jason Robertson as well.

He'll get #13

Damn it man, you stole my line!

 

[Rorschach]

Now we just need the 2nd overall pick and have Dahlin drop to us.

 

[Sol]

How has he been doing ?

 

[Bandit]

He'll get #13

From Clifford? Doubt it. I’d say birth year but that’s 99 so...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

How has he been doing ?

43 points in 23 games, 1.87 PPG--good for 2nd in the OHL behind only Jordan Kyrou. So, pretty good, considering he had an injury that robbed him of what, 6 months of development? And this is out the gate on a brand new team.

 

[DoktorJeep]

If the Kings find some playoff success and Vilardi’s team exits early, there is a chance for him to play some NHL games this season. Not likely to happen and I heard it would burn a year on the entry level deal.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

Clifford is going to be gone soon. Vilardi might wear a different number his first year like all our prospects do but he'll get his number the following year

Clifford is going to be gone soon.
