The core of our group is still the same and if you have Connor Hellebuyck in net, I think you have a chance to win every single night. He's the best goalie in the world and he just does an amazing job of building confidence in our group and giving us a chance to win every single night. Comrie continued and revealed that not only is Hellebuyck incredibly talented on his own but also one of the best teachers of his craft that Comrie has ever been around. Just learning from [Hellebuyck] on a day-to-day basis is unbelievable,» he said. «He's built my game more than any goalie coach or anything like that because I can watch him every day in practice. How he works, how efficient he is in the net, even just every single game we talk all the time. When it comes to the 2025-26 Winnipeg Jets Comrie admits the team lost a couple of key pieces but that the team remains confident after the moves made by the front office. I think we have a veteran team, I know we've lost a few really good players and big, key pieces but I think our GM does an amazing job of bringing in some really good players. Heading into the season Comrie will likely not be relied on much on the ice as long as Hellebuyck is healthy. However, his locker room presence and veteran leadership could go a long way toward bringing the Winnipeg Jets success.
