New York Rangers re-sign Matt Rempe to a 2-year contract worth just under $2 million
Matt Rempe re-signed with the New York Rangers on a two-year contract that a person with knowledge of the deal said is worth $1.95 million.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not disclosed. Rempe will count $975,000 against the salary cap for the next two NHL seasons.
Rempe, 22, has played 70 regular-season and playoff games for the Rangers over the past two years, becoming a fan favorite and a popular teammate for his willingness to drop the gloves and fight as well as hitting any opponent he can.
Getting him under contract is the latest move for general manager Chris Drury and New York after trading Chris Kreider to Anaheim. New York is hoping to return to the playoffs after missing last season following a trip to the Eastern Conference final in 2024.
Rempe gives new coach Mike Sullivan a depth forward who the organization believes is working hard to develop and has the potential to improve. A sixth-round pick in 2020, Rempe has five goals and six assists at the NHL level.

Aaron Judge Leaves Yankees Fans Amazed During Athletics Game
Aaron Judge Leaves Yankees Fans Amazed During Athletics Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We don't think we're exaggerating or being over-the-top when we suggest that New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is extremely good at what he does. Advertisement Judge continued his MVP-caliber season with a home run against the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, his 29th bomb thus far. Facing ex-teammate Luis Severino in the fourth inning, Judge crushed an 0-1 pitch over the left field wall for a two-run homer. Judge added his 30th home run in the seventh inning. Although it's been a tough June for Judge, the two-time AL MVP nonetheless remains among the sport's most potent hitters—and he continues impressing fans along the way. 'THAT BASEBALL HAD A FAMILY,' an X/Twitter user wrote. Added another: 'He sentenced that ball to oblivion.' Judge's second homer marked the 35th instance of a player hitting 30 homers before the All-Star Break. The Yankees captain has accomplished the feat four times since 2017, including a Yankees-record 34 last season. Advertisement 'Even when he's bad he's good,' one fan marveled. New York Yankees right fielder Aaron JudgeBrad Penner-Imagn Images Judge and Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh are locked in what's becoming a sensational AL MVP race. Although Judge entered play Sunday leading the sport in bWAR (5.7) and OPS (1.161), Raleigh already owns 32 home runs, 62 RBI, and 4.6 bWAR. 'Aaron Judge is not Human,' read one comment. 'Aaron Judge has 29 Home Runs before July,' noted another user, 'the craziest part is that this is like routine for this guy.'
