A Consistent career of 60-70 points, actually look at the names of the people who are doing that in the NHL consistently . They are all pretty much Elite players.
Confirmed with Link: Gabriel Vilardi signs 3-year ELC

yeah, 75 players in a high scoring year = 2-3 per team on average. That's high company.

F-ing get up and hunt! Cmon Todd!
Assists come easier than goals and count the same toward points. For a above average play making center I expect he will get his share of assists... and being in top 3 is quite doable if you are in the top 6 and getting PP time which I assume he will.

I'm with you and I think down the line he's going to be a 30-30 guy, just kind of contextualizing your discussion. Folks around here often seem to think that less than 60 points means not a top-sixer but that's under 60 is actually more common.

Its A Kingspiracy !
Jim Fox says the plan is for him to get in a few games in Ontario for conditioning, then go play in the WJC , then join the Kings.

Getting on that Canada roster and having a healthy and productive WJC sounds pretty damn ideal

As much as I want to see Vilardi in the nhl now, working him in slowly makes sense given what a train wreck the big club is on any given night.

I think we have to consider him being forced to change to center in a system that demands a lot from their center position, I think he is /was a very talented player who is learning first against men now still learning in what we all know is not a development league. He looked pretty good playing for Sweden last year with the joy of just playing , was skating well and scoring

I don’t think Kempe is being damaged. Or any of the kids really. The only damage comes management and coaches pretending the team is a contender and not giving the actual good players the ice time they need to demonstrate their skills and gain confidence. Instead they lose and play less than 12 mins a night.

Yeah, the WJC is a good venue to discover where Vilardi is at right now.

First pro point, Kings going to petition for 2 more conditioning games before sending him off for WJC camp

Didn't get to watch and confirm any of this myself, but just FYIs!

He’s fitting right in with the Kings. Everyone getting a chubby that he almost got a shot on goal...

Could be worse. I could be a someone that likes to insult people unprovoked on the internet that he doesn't even know. Run home to your mother.

How did this thread spin away from Vilardi? Gotta give the guy some time to get into playing shape. I’m looking forward to seeing him play in the Junior Championship tournament. I know it isn’t the NHL, but it’s a good step in his path to LA.
I’m not expecting much from him this year - except to not look out of place. Next year, we should know more about his abilities at this level,

WJC's is a great tourney, and he'll be playing against his peer group, most of the best players in the world minus injuries and a select few playing pro that aren't released to play.

Easy, I said something about him someone didn't like, and they made it personal.
I hope the kid can stay healthy so we can see what he's got, but his track record isn't that great so far. Time will tell.
