Gabriel Vilardi is staying in Winnipeg for six more years following a contract extension announced Friday.
The forward became a restricted free agent on July 1 after posting a career high 27 goals, 34 assists and 61 points in 71 NHL games played.
In nine playoff games, the Kingston, Ont. native recorded a goal and three assists.
"THE VILARDI PARTY CONTINUES FOR SIX MORE YEARS," The Jets shared on social media.
Vilardi reached new success in 2024-25 with 12 power-play goals, 25 power-play points and over 18 minutes of ice time per game.
The NHL first-rounder was originally selected by the Los Angeles Kings in 2017, 11th overall and has 175 points in 270 career games between the Kings and Jets.
He came to Winnipeg on June 27, 2023, in a trade that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Kings.
The Jets said on Facebook, "We have agreed to terms with forward Gabriel Vilardi on a six-year contract with an average annual value in the NHL of $7,500,000."
