There is a debate revolving around the validity of Matt Rempe’s eight-game suspension. Rempe was given a massive punishment for his hit on Miro Heiskanen and some NHL insiders have differing opinions on if he necessarily deserved it.

New York Rangers second-year player Matt Rempe was hit with his second significant suspension for elbowing the Dallas Stars' Miro Heiskanen.

The league is sending Rempe a message and so was NHL insider Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet when he spoke about the Rangers’ forward’s career while adding a significant warning. Friedman is adamant that the young enforcer must learn from these kinds of mistakes if not, his NHL career could come to an end soon.
