According to Mollie Walker of The New York Post [https://x.com/MollieeWalkerr/status/1935344850305442187], the deal is valued at an average annual value (AAV) of $925,000. Larry Brooks of The New York Post [https://x.com/NYP_Brooksie/status/1935340275670352192] also reports that Rempe has been in New York/Connecticut for the past couple of weeks, working with a skills coach. Rempe was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1, but this new contract extension takes him off the board. Since his arrival to the Rangers during the 2023-24 season, Rempe has become a fan-favorite due to his constant fighting and physical style of play. This past season, the 22-year-old was sent up and down from the American Hockey League, but found a consistent spot in the Rangers’ lineup later on in the year while he also improved upon both his offensive and defensive skill sets, making him a more reliable option on the team’s fourth line.
