Could be worse. I could be a someone that likes to insult people unprovoked on the internet that he doesn't even know. Run home to your mother.

Actually my mom died of cancer so practice what you preach Bandito.

Key word. You don't want people to say shit about you, don't come out of left field and attack them. Sorry about your mother.

You're the one who came out of left field to include my mother. I merely made an observation on your post. But thanks for your last statement. It's all good. Carry on.

 

[TruKingFan]

I hope the kid can stay healthy so we can see what he's got, but his track record isn't that great so far. Time will tell.

Sure but at least give the kid a chance to get a track record before writing him off. Sounds like he's getting off to a good start with the Reign....

Dude if you don't understand how this:

Your constant cynicism is pretty sad though entertaining. Must suck to be you.

Started the whole thing, I don't know what to tell you.

Guess should've put in the after that. My bad.

Ugh........................

Does anyone know if he had (some secret, undisclosed) surgery this Summer?

Bob McKenzie said during a tv interview that Vilardi had surgery this Summer.
Maybe it was minor and Kings didn't want to disclose it.

McKenzie usually knows things and not one to make up stuff / lie / or be wrong about something like that.

Did anyone hear that?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a year.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Kid’s an injury bust. It is what it is.

 

[Winger23]

Theres a reason he fell in the draft. Total bust.

 

[KingsCourt]

Wow.. So much for a top prospect

 

[Bandit]

f*** me gently with a chainsaw. Kid can’t even stay healthy for a week in the AHL.

 

[kings11]

The medical staff keeps telling mush brain Clifford he’s ok... something isn’t right with the way the team treats injuries !

 

[AbsentMojo]

Dont know what the injury is... hopefully its not his back AGAIN. If so, that really looks bad for his future - he's only 19 and cant get it healthy over a year or so

Treat as in what? You mean treating the injury, or like a careless put the guy in even if he's hurt thing? You can't do much with the brain or the back. Time is all you can do with a back, and backs can go whenever. I don't know if you've ever had even a spasm or not, but that can last a solid week, maybe 2, and can leave you in bed for a while. So if Vilardi has something worse than that, then he's never going to play, regardless of what any doctor anywhere does. If Clifford passes baseline tests or whatever, what can you do? Unless he chooses to retire, if the machines say he's able to play, he's going to play.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

If you have injured discs or spinal cord issues - it's pretty debilitating. Often, they cannot do surgery or only so much. My mom had a cyst on her spine and had surgery for it
in January and can't walk now. And they couldn't even remove it!

I'm not sure what exact injury he has, but it must be pretty bad....but it may be something they can do surgery or something.

Man serious total waist of a draft pick. I hope he gets his injuries resolved or else this pick has been an absolute abomination.

Had 3 herniated discs in my spine, a torn labrum, torn rotator cuff, torn tendon and a bone spur in my left shoulder, 3rd degree sprains to both ankles, multiple concussions, multiple dislocated finger and a dislocated knee cap.. so I kinda know a bit about sports injuries... the problem is doctors just like players have this mindset of the show must go on.... personal health should be a priority of both parties but sadly it just isn’t

 

[SFKingshomer]

Send him to Tiger Woods doctor. Poor kid, hope for the best I guess.

 

[AbsentMojo]

Without knowing what kind of back issue he has, its all speculation.. Im sure he's had all the best diagnostics by now - MRIs and whatever else they have so they (Kings and Vilardi) should know what they are dealing with. I heard somewhere he had a procedure over the summer but I cant find any trace of that from checking around. Its possible the reason he dropped in the draft was there was information about his back out there - maybe the Kings didnt have. Who knows.. he was on everyone's top 5 list its weird he dropped so far.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Man, if it's the back again Vilardi becomes a lottery ticket that can no longer be counted on.

 

[LAKings88]

Am I reading this right? He has another injury as of today? Not old news?

 

[Sol]

He's a bust.

 

[Little Psycho]

What a disappointment
