The fight he will likely take is vs Reaves, but I'm not hopeful he's strong enough to wrestle reaves yet. He'd have to get the jump on him get the first couple shots in.

Should watch the entire Vally segment, starting from 32:20. While we are discussing that awesome Orr story, he did also discuss Rempe. And said he's a bit concerned with his eagerness and recklessness. Scott Page, a former OHL teammate and a very good friend of his died this month at the age of 44. CTE was a major contributor in his death. OHL mourns the loss of Scott Page - Ontario Hockey League

Rempe is in his D+4. It's wild that a kid that big and lanky has been able to keep up so well at the NHL level. If conventional wisdom holds, his strength and coordination aren't going to really be there for a few more years. There's a real chance this guy will be more than a 4th liner, and may end up a better NHLer than he would be at the AHL level being that he'll play with better players here that will more efficiently use the room he creates in the O zone and the screen he sets in front of the net. Before the season, I figured Edstrom had the chance at 3rd line, now, it's looking like both COULD be that level down the line a bit, even if NYR have enough talent to keep them on the 4th.

Im excited to see Nick Cousins and Rempe get acquainted in the eastern conference finals

Cousins wouldn't even look in Rempe's direction. He ain't that kind of tough.

I've criticized Rempe's fighting ability but keep in mind that I'm worried about outcomes against true heavyweights and experienced fighters.

A garden variety rat like Cousins would get ripped in half by Rempe.

While I don't anticipate Cousins to be a willing participant, I do agree that I'd love see Rempe apply some wrestling holds like he did to Olivier last night.

I loved that. Seeing Rempe take a guy causing extracurriculars in our crease and just carry him off was even more satisfying than any of the fights.

Im concerned as well. Thats why I want him to stop answering every bell until he can learn how to use his reach properly. Plus he needs to get his helmet strapped on better.

Totally agree - we can't deny the physical attributes Rempe displays, along with raw athletic traits for a massive man and he seemingly can really motor. That's a dangerous combo.

To be honest, he doesn't even have his man strength yet. IMO

Also really like what Edstrom has brought too.

"Avoidable hit" being something made up by online people is correct. Rempe has no obligation to avoid hitting a guy with the puck because he's bent over. Price to pay for being stupid cupcake.

That entirely depends on if you want to be ideal or realistic. Should he have to hold up? Probably not. But the refs are likely to call those plays penalties so he probably should.
