Matt Rempe: our analysis
2025-26 season: 26 GP, 1 G, 0 A, 1 PTS, -4 +/-, 8:36 TOI. WAR -0.2 (495th of 615) · PAL 23, below average.
In 2025-26, Matt Rempe, 24, posts a PAL Rating of 23 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 495th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, offense (8, among the weakest in the league) and power play (24, well below average) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: finishing (-1.4).
A clear step forward: his PAL went from 15 in 2024-25 to 23; his WAR went from -0.3 to -0.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 35 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Matt Rempe's story
His first major junior steps came after being a final cut at Seattle's camp and heading to Spruce Grove; Matthew Rempe used that detour to build a path to the pros. The Rangers selected him 165th overall in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, a pick that followed a 2019–20 campaign in which he overcame an early injury to post 12 goals and 19 assists in 47 games for the Seattle Thunderbirds. His size has always attracted notice — he developed through the AJHL and the WHL rather than a straight, conventional route to the NHL.
The pandemic shortened the 2020–21 season, but Rempe returned to put up 17 goals and six assists in 56 games in 2021–22, results that kept him on New York's radar. He attended Rangers training camps in 2021 and 2022, where his willingness to engage physically during drills and scrimmages became apparent. That physical side of his game soon became part of his professional identity as he moved into the organization’s AHL ranks.
Assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack for 2022–23, Rempe recorded six goals and four assists in 53 games. In 2023–24 he played both centre and wing in Hartford; after an eight-goal stretch through February 11 he was recalled by New York. His NHL debut arrived on February 18, 2024, in the Stadium Series versus the Islanders, making him the first player to start his NHL career in an outdoor game. Early in his brief NHL tenure he combined scoring milestones with disciplinary incidents: a match penalty 13 seconds into a shift on February 22, his first NHL goal a game later against Philadelphia, and a later match penalty that led to a four-game suspension in March.
Rempe also found the scoresheet in the postseason, recording a goal in his first NHL playoff appearance on April 21, 2024. New contract terms followed on June 18, 2025, when he agreed to a two-year, $1.95 million extension. He then missed most of 2025–26 after breaking his thumb in an October 23, 2025 fight, returning for 12 games before being shut down due to lingering effects. On the ice, his game is defined by size and physicality: he protects teammates, engages in the game's rougher moments and brings a checking, net-front presence alongside occasional scoring.
