Edstrom has looked great on the 4th line. Which essentially means, solid defensive hockey, good forechecker, and potentially pinning the other team in the zone.
That’s it.
That’s all we ask from our 4th line. To not keep us pinned in our zone.
Rempe does 1 of those things positively. Hes a good forechecker, but he’s a risk for penalties in that situation. He doesn’t do well defensively yet. And so when the puck is in our end, they’re essentially 5v4.
Rempe could grow as a player. But even vesey is a major improvement over Rempe.
sorry, wrong
vesey not a pivot
not a better checker due to lesser reach
not better physical punisher
and has zero upside to dominate
which Rempe does and that should be encouraged/nourished not stiffled
with Bern right next to him....
I get WAY, WAY more right than I get wrong.
will you admit you are wrong for getting that wrong?
Rempe is more liability than asset. And more so than the others. So play him in Hartford until he shows he can help more than hurt. Until the coaches feel comfortable playing him later in games, until he can play a full game without drawing penalties or costing us goals.
Trolls
1. Your hatred for the kid is noted
I disagree on your assessment and recommendation
2. People who disagree w/you are not 'trolls' just b'c they disagree, and ESPECIALLY so when they can back it up
You just don't wanna refute the counter to yr argument
