Chara wasn't good until he was like 24 or 25.
Yep, and if you go look up the reviews of his first couple of years in the league as an Islander, they'll read similar to Rempe in that he was a HORRIBLE skater. Looked like bambi on ice, turns like a mac truck, etc. etc.

This is not to say that Rempe can be like Chara or anybody else. Rather it's to say 1) Other big players have had the same issues as him at his age and significant improvement is not unheard of. 2) His learning/improving should be done below the NHL level to maximize any potential that there may be.

Honestly, having him up with the Rangers, playing 4 minutes, every other game, is just as much a disservice to him as it is to the Rangers.

this place is unbearable right now between strictly rempe zib and lindgren talk
I mean all off season it was “jettison Kakko and Trouba “

Trouba currently has looked solid and Kakko is currently our 2nd best rw and hot take:( the separation between him and Laf isn’t that far)

If nyr keeps messing around w the Igor contract then he's going to be looking pretty good in Chicago next season. He would probably drag that tire fire into the playoffs...

Is anyone else getting 2015-2016 vibes with this team?

"The Rangers are 7-2-1, but this is reminiscent of 2015-16, when Henrik Lundqvist’s uncommon brilliance out of the gate led the club to a 16-3-2 start before the team settled into a long stretch of mediocrity that ultimately ended with a first-round, five-game rout by Pittsburgh."

No, was that team able to score at this rate?

No this team is objectively better. Let’s not act like they aren’t stomping teams
Pre Lindgren.

He’s responsible for at least half of their issues right now.

Brian Boyle didn't debut in the NHL until he was older than Rempe is right now.

Boyle was also a 1st Round Pick and Rempe is a 6th Round dart throw.

The two guys don't even play remotely similar games. I don't understand the comparison.
Yeah I don’t get the comparisons at all. Boyle carved out a nice career for himself but didn’t come close to living up to expectations. Rempe is quite the opposite. Boyle had great feet and was agile but was slow as molasses, Rempe would burn him in a straight line. Give Rempe time, man. Boyle was way more skilled and didn’t play a full NHL season until he was 25. Rempe is 22
