The Absolute Last Words About Matt Rempe As Rangers Savior
Danny Wild-Imagn Images The Maven has said all there is to say about Matt Rempe; simply this: if properly utilized by new coach Mike Sullivan, the Not-So-Gentle Giant could be a meaningful asset. But superscout Jess Rubenstein asked to have the floor for a minute, just to set the Rempe record as straight as can be: Advertisement For transparency purposes, let me add that Rubenstein has had a special link to Rempe but better I should let Jess explain: "I've known Matt since his days with the Seattle (Major Junior) Thunderbirds," says Jess. "We got along in large part because we both lost our fathers as teenagers to a heart attack." As an outspoken Rempe advocate, Rubenstein claims that one of the unfair raps against Matt is that critics check out The Stratospheric One and conclude that his 6-8, 250 pounds means that he'll never improve. "You can't teach size," Jess insists, "but you can work with him to improve his skill set." Advertisement Which explains why GM Chris Drury added two years to Matt's contract with a very modest $155,000 raise. Ergo: The large lad comes cheap. For the Rangers' accountant, like pennies from Heaven. Rubenstein: "If Mike Sullivan is smart – and I hope that he is – then he'll realize that he should park Rempe in the enemy crease and let his eye/hand coordination do the rest." It is a fact of hockey life that over the decades, players have grown taller and taller but when it comes to officiating, critics such as Rubenstein believe that the refs are more apt to penalize Rempe BECAUSE he's the NHL's biggest player. One, Last Kick At The Matt Rempe Myth One, Last Kick At The Matt Rempe Myth Here are five reasons why Matt Rempe might fail to make good on his contract. Advertisement Maybe yes, maybe no, but this much is certain, Matt must assume that he's a marked man and adjust accordingly. I agree with seer Jess that if Rempe plays it smart – and not bull-in-a-China Shop dumb – The Skating Giraffe should be good for at least ten goals next season. And for the relatively little dough Rempe will earn, that's chicken feed for the giraffe!

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.
