New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe should be in the lineup against the Edmonton Oilers as trade rumors continue to swirl around the 22-year-old, according to a Yahoo Sports analysis by Jim Cerny published Friday.
The article argues that keeping Rempe in the rotation would serve multiple purposes for the Rangers. Regular ice time would maintain the player's development and showcase his value to potential trade partners, while also providing the team with his physical presence against a skilled Oilers roster.
Rempe, who made his NHL debut last season, has drawn attention for his size and physical playing style. The trade speculation comes as the Rangers evaluate their roster construction early in the 2026-27 season.
Neither the Rangers nor the Oilers have officially commented on any potential trade discussions involving Rempe.
