Apparently he was all over the field

A pretty interesting visual showing the breakdown of the Jets roster vs. the remaining 8 playoff teams.

He's spent time elsewhere but Comrie could technically fall into the 2nd-7th round pick category considering he was drafted by the Jets.

Haha.....I just noticed we have 3 Smiths at LB, and another Smith at WR

Maybe I'll hate them? I don't completely know I won't. But I'm willing to look for reason, be optimistic, and generally speaking, trust that the people in charge (collectively) know what they're doing.

That's your choice and your prerogative.

Others see things differently, however, expressing their skepticism with all the changes, and questioning the rationale and motivation for them as they relate to not only the current state of the league, but its future in a changing sports ecosystem.

And that's their choice and their prerogative.

But you can't make a player play where he doesn't want to, and Hellebuyck is not getting paid commensurate with his play or position in the league, which makes it even more of an issue.

You purport to have have an ability to allow reason into your thought process, but you're not applying that logic here.

Hellebuyck's under contract for another four years. Per the CBA, he's contractually obligated to show up, participate in practices and games, and adhere to league rules. I won't get into the weeds regarding suspensions, etc. because that'd be pointless at this time.

All those tweets you shared don't prove anything. On the contrary, it reinforces two things:
1. there are some pretty ignorant, short-sighted fans within the Winnipeg Jets base, and
2. Twitter is a trash platform where those types can broadcast their ignorance.

And again, none of what you posted above explains these comments:

It all comes down to CH37.  If they get him back on board, then full steam ahead for today.  If he's not, its full rebuild time.

Your deflection and non-answer are begrudgingly accepted.

What was the injury?  You'd think a young athlete would heal up better than ever after almost a full year?

A knee injury that happened about mid season last year. So a full year will be in August this year. Whether he can return sooner or not will be a health decision later but no need to rush him. Remember what happened with Schoen which is something we want to avoid on a young player.

As far as I know, the new draft picks are non-counters right now. They don't affect anything until final cuts.

That's correct which also applies to a couple of non drafted Canadians that we signed. The only change is that any returning picks from last year that returned to college for one more year are now counters. We have one OL that applies to.

At the moment we've only signed 7 of 9 2026 draft picks. They might arrive for the main TC. That leaves us with maybe 10 at the moment as non counters.

Might be.  Or might be a stash while we scope out the latest DPs... Isn't room for them all!
