Matt Rempe has been very clear about this desire to improve upon his fighting skills, but he wants to do more than just that.
Standing at about 6’7’’, Rempe wants to use his size to his advantage and become a player that is just overwhelming to handle.
“Just be hard to play against. Mean. Bring an edge. Have a great net-front presence. Make sure the other team always knows that, hey, they’re going to have to deal with me every night,” Rempe said via Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.
While he may not show it with his game just yet, Rempe has potential due to physical attributes alone and if he puts in the work, anything is possible.
The 21-year-old actually took the time to train with Chris Kreider this offseason as he looks to improve offensively.
Rempe’s stats were underwhelming in his short time with the Rangers last season, but the presence that he brought in terms of his energy was certainly felt.
Now, he looks to continue to be an energy booster while being more effective as an overall player.
