What’s his next contract looking like?

Any possibility he is traded?
Hopefully the Jets lock him up long term. Chevy is great at coming up with fair contracts that work for everyone (team and player) for guys that want to be here

That said, his social media influencer GF from SoCal will probably get a say on whether or not they stay in Winnipeg

If he won't sign, expect Chevy to work his magic a la PLD trade
 
Around 7.5-8.5 per year, I’m okay with 8 years. He took off in Winnipeg with 1st line usage, and the team really believes in him. I think Gabe fits really well and it would be a damn shame if he didn’t stay. As above, I think his girlfriend would be the only reason to not stay long term.

What's the story here? Does she have any reason not to stay, like being tied elsewhere a la Trouba, or what?

No, she's been involved in WAG events across the city and seems to be friends with some of the other WAGs on the team. She is from Orange County though so the weather is always a potential factor.
 
Looks like a good offer sheet candidate. Montreal Detroit Utah Nashville Philly maybe.
Jets have the 2nd most cap space of all high tier playoff teams behind only the Canes. And I'm pretty sure the Jets thank whichever team offersheets Vilardi to a contract where they'd end up getting 4 first round picks.

Yes, but it would be tricky if Vilardi left on offer-sheet at the same time Ehlers left via UFA.
I like Lambert and Chibrikov but I don't think they could fill those shoes very well.
 
I love him on the Jets, but I see him getting paid more money by another team. I also think his girlfriend wants him in a warmer climate, could see him with the Sharks or Blackhawks because he would look good next to Bedard/Celebrini.

I mean, I think 8 x $7M AAV is do-able on Winnipeg's end.
