Rempe is so good he’s now forcing teams to trade for players to fight him.

Until he is diagnosed with CTE after his 10th game. Really like the kid, but my God does he need to learn to not let guys weld his eyes shut when he fights.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Pretty sure they just got a forward

Hes a forward not a dman

Yeah thanks - the first thing I saw when looking him up was Damn but CapFriendly and the thread set me straight

 

[Ciao]

I think Bardakov can still become a bottom 6 energy guy in the nhl. Love is energy

How do you see Baradkov play? He's with SKA St. Petersburg. He's not under contract and has never played in North America.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Better than what ever Hischer will inevitably be drinking out of.

Love how this thread is half Rags fans

Nothing deal. Doubt MacDermid plays more than a half dozen games, but more than anything signals Fitzgerald intends on buying at the deadline, which he really shouldn’t be.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Are they facing NYR soon? Are they afraid of Rempe?

Why would they be afraid of a guy who has been throttled twice in a row.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Why would they be afraid of a guy who has been throttled twice in a row.

Did you see the picture of Bastian after he got beelined by Rempe. Forget the fighting aspect, he is going to get tooled by the guys with experience.

Devils: “We need a goalie and effective team toughness. Let’s get a guy who is only good at punching faces.”

I hope Rempe is told to skate away from him. A) Funny B) Good strategy C) Good life choice.

 

[RustyCat]

Oh man I so called this trade.

 

[Psycho Mantis]

I’m going to miss him on the Avs. He didn’t really contribute much, but such a great locker room guy and easy to root for. Good luck in Jersey, Dermy

fight him or beat him up?

 

[TGWL]

On one hand. NJD needed some toughness. And after the game between NJD-NYR, this definitely feels like a reactionary move. On the othet hand, they're chasing a playoff spot and need to be playing their best players. You can't just match 4th lines and I think he'll need to be used very limited even on a 4th line role. Obviously everyone is already anticipating a throw down when these teams meet again, but I don't think this solves as much as it looks like it does on paper. No matter who wins a fight, it doesn't mean the other guy still isn't a problem, or becomes intimidated. I think 5 on 5 more skilled toughness was more needed than this for them. Somebody you're using when games are tough, close and you need to wear down the other team.

 

[cheesymc]

eh… it worked for the Avalanche I guess…

 

[forsbergavs32]

Really liked MacDermid, good guy but really doesn’t have a place on the roster, plus Avs likely clearing space for another move.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Rempe gunna be on baby food by the end of the month.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

fight him or beat him up?

Rempe won his first fight against Matt Martin. Drew his second against Deslauriers.

What an odd distortion of reality we are now seeing about him because he lost a fight against the Blue Jackets guy. He's 1-1-1 in his career. He's the youngest regular fighter in the NHL.

Whatever will he do as 21 year old in his first week in the NHL losing one fight?

 

[drede]

Last season he did

Yeah I noticed that I figured he was just a forward after see the trade post listing him as one

 

[MVP Zacha]

Crazy, a team in the league for nearly a 100 years only has 1 more Cup than a team in the league for 41.

 

[Dfence033]

Isn't it amazing how a nothing trade for a nothing player sparks such riveting discussion as Devils and Rangers fans measuring the size of their junk on the mains by comparing Cups won like a fan had anything to do with it?

I, for one, am utterly shocked.

Well, it was Rags fan that came in trashing this trade.

 

[Captain97]

the guy every team wants on their team. he's the forward version of xhekaj.

I can't wait for the next forward version of xhekaj, also named Xhekaj

 

[Dfence033]

Never suggested otherwise. For the record: I'm a Rangers fan. I just don't feel the need to compare my fandom to others who chose other teams to support.

I wouldn't either, until a mouth breather decided to come in to make a comment about a trade that didn't involve his team.

You gotta have a different standard than that….the main boards are supposed to give all fans the opportunity to comment on trades.

Agreed. So my comment on this trade is "ummm, OK."
