25 year old RFA. That Dubois trade seems to have worked out pretty well.

That is a lot to pay for a guy who disappears in the playoffs.

In 2023, Vilardi had 4 points in 5 playoff games. Same in '24. One weak playoff out of three doesn't really make him ‘a guy who disappears’.

Pretty solid contract as he's just starting to hit his prime coming off a nice season.

That's a pretty good deal. He was a pretty good comparable for Coronato when he signed his previous bridge deal, so I thought WPG would have to pay another $0.5M-$1M on top of that. I could see him becoming a PPG player for 2-3 seasons before coming back to scoring at a 60-65 point pace.

[Vansmack]

It’s a nice deal. I think he has the talent to score 30 a number of times on this deal

[Aarongavey]

Pretty good deal for the Jets. Suspect he is good for 60-70 points a season during the life of the contract.

[Sandman]

Not bad for one of the slowest players in the league.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

He's a pretty close comparable to Verhaeghe when he signed his deal, but maybe a shade or two less in stats, amplified by the inflation of the market with the cap going up.

This seems to be the exact market value going forward for a player like him.

[Samonadreau]

Decent contract.
