We can also make up a narrative about how the rags almost blew the Carolina series until they scratched Rempe. It’s not that hard to just make poop up to fit your argument

The Rags were 2-1 on Carolina when Rempe was scratched. Carolina’s a team of cucks, why would you dress Rempe?

Anytime you can put a goon in the lineup that gets out chanced 5 to 1 you gotta do it.

Honestly it was fine until there was a whole press tour leading up to Rags vs Leafs for Rempe vs Reaves. Manufactured fights suck ass. Get rid of the instigator and bring back real fights rather than getting excited about the second coming of John Scott

Agreed. The hype around this clown is hysterical.

Getting excited about Rempe is on par with getting excited about YouTubers pretending to be boxers.

Got sucker punched at a party after head butting a kid who was being a Richard. That’s about it.

TLDR summary
Get a top 6, preferably LW, with a big shot for PP (or C if Malkin moves to wing)

Add a middle six wing similar to Bunting

Go young fourth line with a mix of skill and grit. Puustinen-Poulin-Accairi/Gruden?

One year back up goalie with the expectation Blomquist takes over mid season or next year.

Trade Smith.

If there is money, look to possibly upgrade 2LD or 3C, although bridge situations could work there with capable though players there and potential young talent behind them though admittedly not best for 2024-2025.

I am not completely against moving EK, Jarry, Rackell, or Graves, but find any of those unlikely so largely hoping for better seasons. Not ideal, but we aren't good enough to trade futures to move contracts.

I think you and I are completely on the same page on all of this. We'll see how much of it happens -- and if it's executed properly.

I got beat up a lot. You just seem to have a lot of animosity towards a kid just doing what it takes.

Pretty sure Rempe sent someone to the Locke room then they fought. Wasn’t really manufactured.

I have zero animosity towards Rempe. I’m not rooting for him to fail or anything. I just think he’s a side show and the hard on people have for him is ridiculous

I think it’s been so long since a guy just decided to fight his way to relevance in the NHL people find it refreshing. He’s also 21. He doesn’t even have real man strength yet.

There’s a new plug like him every year and they always washout because they suck at hockey. He just got hype because he’s 6’7” and NYR is relevant.

Only Rempe fights guys that are 6’4 and 245 lbs when he’s 6’7 and 200 lbs. Jake Paul fights guys that are 60.

He fights other guys that suck at hockey. Not a single one of the players he fought scored more than 5 goals. Just like Jake Paul it’s a sideshow to the actual talent in the sport.

Right, my analogy was that he's a sideshow and I don't understand why he gets so much attention. Jake Paul is a mediocre boxer who fights non-boxers or old boxers and for some reason people pay to watch it.

PWHL game is a real barn burner right now.

I don’t know poop about Jake Paul but the whole comparison is just off base. I guess if Rempe created a hockey league and payed old time washed up fighters to fight him for a pay day it would work. But he fights the best of the best at what they do. Honestly the kids value doesn’t lay in fighting anyway.

The analogy was simply that both Paul and Rempe are sideshows that get more attention that they deserve in their sports. Who they are punching was beyond the scope of the analogy.

Happy Memorial Day everybody!
