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.

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.

Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers has been offered an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety to discuss his boarding and elbowing of Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen.
