The Winnipeg Jets have secured Gabriel Vilardi, signing him to a six-year extension worth $45 million. This comes after a successful season where Vilardi recorded career highs of 27 goals, 34 assists, and 61 points in 71 games. Despite missing significant time due to an upper-body injury, he still managed to contribute with four points in the playoffs.

Acquired last summer during a trade that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings, Vilardi has quickly established himself as a key player for the Jets. In his six-year career, he has tallied 90 goals and 85 assists across 270 regular-season games, showcasing his potential as a significant offensive contributor.
