Matt Rempe's Contract Situation Has An Obvious Conclusion

Matt Rempe is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, so the New York Rangers have a decision to make regarding how they want to handle the young forward’s future. 

Since Rempe’s official arrival to the Rangers during the 2023-24 season, he’s been a hot topic of conversation and attention. 

Due to his fighting and physical style of play, Rempe has become a fan-favorite among the people of New York.  

Despite some ups and downs in terms of his play over the past year, the 22-year-old has shown strides in his development and solidified a role on the team’s fourth line. 

What will Rempe’s next contract look like and how should the Rangers approach it? 

He hasn’t played enough or shown he could be a regular NHLer to garner a long-term deal, but there’s no doubt he’ll receive some sort of contract extension. 

It will likely be a contract for about one or two years with little financial risk as Rempe continues to grow and progress through his development. 

Over these next one-two years, Rempe will have time to show the Rangers brass that he’s worthy of a long-term contract extension in the future and a permanent spot in the lineup.
