Question is though what happens to him once Kings management gets hold of him from the Ahl on up.

I am curious, how projectable is the skill here? It seems he can pass the lights out and can thread the eye of a needle. Honestly, I'm seeing this kid as the new Voracek, unless I'm nuts?

Guys remember he’s a Kings prospect. Keep everything at low with your edging.

Wow I can’t believe he didn’t save Greentree’s soft back hand lol. Man hockey levels are crazy.

I haven't watched much of Greentree, but on a surface level he's seems like a similar prospect to Vilardi.

Big OHL forward with questions about skating. Both playmaking and goal scoring ability.

HockeyDB even has them listed as the exact same size and weight. 6ft3in 216lbs. Gabe played for the Spitfires as well.

In my opinion, Vilardi was much more decisive - even though he skated slowly, he made up for it with how quickly he moved the puck. Vilardi had a much better release as well for his shot.

Greentree utilizes his size better to protect the puck and open the seams up and to separate the player from the puck.

This isn't even a knock on Greentree. Vilardi was ranked third overall by some publications. Vilardi was just further ahead at the same age.

Got to chat with his family and friends at draft. Great people, kid wanted to play for LA very badly

He skates way better than Villardi, who I just dropped from my fantasy roster for a couple dismal outings.

Good read! Cool to hear how excited his friends and family are for him.

Greentree will have one ability that Vilardi didn't have... availability.

I don't mean that as a knock on Vilardi but Greentree presumably will be two to four years ahead on his "development curve" (for whatever that's worth) compared to Vilardi.

Who do you think could do the macarena better?
