Wait… were these conditionals tied to the original trade of Zito to Niagara? LOLIf Zito plays then Windsor just screwed Niagara. That was pretty savvy of Bowler.

Niagara pays North Bay for Zito to play here.
Zito = PeerAhhh A Savard issue, not a bowler one. Glad to see him coming back. Always was a fan and fills that "Fan-Favorite" role we were so worried about losing with Peer.
The weird thing is..
Zito, Donoso and Toure I think are all upgrades over Maillet, Michelone and Mancini.
If I recall- didn't he have an ill grandfather and wanted to be closer to home?Ahhh A Savard issue, not a bowler one. Glad to see him coming back. Always was a fan and fills that "Fan-Favorite" role we were so worried about losing with Peer.

My concerns with Zito is he doesn’t have the proven OA output of Peer. Otherwise, pretty similar production levels, plus more physicality.Zito = Peer
Toure < Mancini
Donos > Michelone
Confirmed on the OHL site as well. ZITO to windsor for a 15th, 3rd and cond 5th. Has to be something else in mind for those picks other than yes, if there are conditionals coming back from Niagara then Bowler loses nothing. Improves the draft position of the 3rd and 5th. Obviously he was not waived as first suggested.Zito to Windsor confirmed by NB
Yes, Smith, Struthers and Castle are still here. But I can't see any takers.Bowler out of cards now I think.
Got to be done.
Still have dead wood on team but he did improve the draft cupboard.
At least he might play a shift.Castle to Saginaw for 11th
What are we getting with Aiden Castle...seems like a strange move with guys like Moore, Sima, Storch on that 4th line.
Castle can fill a hole throughout the line-up if there is an injury etc. Depth move and he can be surprising at times. Just not in Windsor this year.What are we getting with Aiden Castle...seems like a strange move with guys like Moore, Sima, Storch on that 4th line.
Pasquale Zito already on the road and headed to Windsor.Don’t expect Zito to report. My understanding was it was Ottawa or he plays Tier II in Ottawa. Has no intention of leaving home.

Please tell me the deal was Niagara gives Windsor a 3rd and 5th if Zito plays OA
Meaning… Zito cost nothing to us. But a 3rd and 5th from Niagara to NB?

“I’m coming back to an incredible organization that matured me as a player and a person and I want to give back and try to help them make a playoff push,” Zito said.
As well, he hasn't signed with Detroit yet. Probably Yzerman wanted him here to have a closer look.WOW. Interesting. Maybe Windsor was the only team he would go to leave home becuase of the past relationship. Good for him. Happy for him.
Classy move by NB too. They have to surrender the 3rd and 5th to Niagara for him playing an OA year.
Last I heard this past weekend was he told NB he would play in Ottawa or Tier II Navan Grads. Windsor must have reached out and changed his mind….
