aggravating and I have way more important things to look at right now....


it would be one thing if this guy was making accurate, correct points

any other pts aside, Rempe is effective.
Rs win games he is in by a wide margin
He needs full 4th line mins [10 or so per nite] in NHL
not 1st line in the A

so let's drop this bum like a bad habit
boycott him; consider boycotting The Hockey Writers
not for multiple pts of view, but putting out crap that is unsubstantiated

again, jettison Vesey

Why does he need to play top-6 minutes in Hartford if it’s not his role here?
The idea should be for Rempe to get as many reps as possible; he'd do that in a top 6 role with the Wolf Pack.

No, that won't be his role with the Rangers, but at least he'll have developed his game more and be a more complete player, maybe play in the top 6 if a need necessitates it.

The guy is a bad AHL player and a bad NHL player. Why are we wasting time "developing" him? The forwards in the AHL that need big minutes to develop are Berard, Sykora, BMB, Othmann, maybe CHmelar. Not the guy with zero offense at any level ever whose entire NHL role so far has been goon, whose most important plays so far have been reckless hits that caused injury.

So EdJovanovski has something to post about. That’s why.

I’m torn on this.
Rempe might be able to develop into an elite 4th line guy. He’s got speed, length and hits hard.

If he fixes his balance, body control (for reckless hits) and has a better understanding of defense, he’s an an above average 4th line guy.
The problem is that likely takes years.

There is some upside. But he’s also got some parts of his game that might not even be echl quality.

I think Rempe kind of sucks but 4th liners suck, and I don't think he sucks to the point of it being defcon 2.

I just think the whole thing is exhausting. We shouldn't have to have a debate over our 13th best forward being in the lineup or not every game.

I don’t think fourth liners suck. I think they’re given a role, and we accept that they’re not gonna be mcdavid.

What I ask from a 4th line guy,
Hustles/forechecks well, plays solid physical defense, when on offense takes lots of shots and tries to cause havoc.

Rempe can do several of those things well, but not all of them. the difference between him and edstrom is huge. And edstrom is a 4th line guy at the moment.
