US EditionJets Sign Vilardi to 6-Year Extension
MANITOBA, CANADA, JUL 18 – Vilardi earned a six-year, $45 million deal after a career-best 61-point season, doubling his salary and avoiding arbitration with the Winnipeg Jets, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
- On July 18, 2025, in Winnipeg, the Jets signed 25-year-old forward Gabriel Vilardi to a six-year deal valued at $45 million.
- The signing followed Vilardi's restricted free agent status as of July 1 and his trade acquisition from the Los Angeles Kings in June 2023 that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles.
- During the 2024-25 NHL season, Vilardi achieved new personal bests by recording 27 goals and 34 assists, totaling 61 points over the course of 71 games, though he missed multiple contests due to an upper-body injury.
- Vilardi has 90 career goals, 85 assists in 270 regular-season games over six NHL seasons, and his new deal raises his average salary to $7.5 million per season, more than doubling his prior $3.44 million average.
- This extension secures Vilardi as the Jets' third highest paid player and reflects the organization's commitment to their top scoring forward following his second season with Winnipeg.
