Gabe Vilardi has not put up crazy numbers in his first full season with the LA Kings, but he still has a crucial role as a top-six forward.

Although the LA Kings‘ 2017 first-rounder hasn’t necessarily exploded on the stats sheet this season, Gabe Vilardi has proven his worth amongst the top-six forwards in other aspects of his game. Vilardi is currently slotted as the second-line center role for the LA Kings, and he also centers on the second unit of the team’s power play.
