As the NHL predictions are taking over the media, Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi is currently in the hot seat.
Gabriel Vilardi has proven to be a valuable asset for the Winnipeg Jets since his acquisition from the PLD blockbuster trade. Although his tenure with the organization has been plagued with injuries, he's still managed to produce impressive offensive numbers for the team.
Despite Vilardi improving at a consistent pace for the Jets, the media is predicting that Vilardi will slightly regress during the course of the 2024-2025 NHL regular season
Gabriel Vilardi is good, but I don't think he's as good as he showed when healthy last season. The 25-year-old only played 47 games and scored 22 goals and 36 points. He will get his time on the top power-play unit and in the top-6, but with a full season of work, he could have regressed.
His linemates will be good, but he has to give a full body of work over a season to think that his goal and point pace is going to match that of last season's. He was on pace for 38 goals and 63 points. Maybe soon he gets to a higher level, but I don't think just yet.
In addition to that, the Jets offence has taken a dramatic hit this NHL offseason. With the departure of Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli, there will be a heavier workload and increased expectations on Vilardi's shoulders. On a positive note, if Vilardi manages to stay clear of injuries, theres still a chance he can improve on last seasons efforts.
