The Matt Rempe Experience will roll on at the Garden next year with bigger — well — and better expectations for this unique hockey weapon who improved steadily over the course of the second half of the season.
The Rangers took care of business with the pending restricted free agent winger, signing Rempe to a two-year deal with an AAV of $975,000 per before he could become offer-sheet eligible on July 1, The Post first reported Wednesday morning.
This leaves the Blueshirts with approximately $14.5 million in cap space off an 18-player shadow roster that does not include pending Group II’s Will Cuylle, K’Andre Miller, Adam Edstrom, Zac Jones, Matt Robertson and Arthur Kaliyev.
If one does the math — which the hierarchy does just about on the hour every single day — it is all but impossible to understand where the rampant rumors of the Rangers preparing offer sheets originated and why this continues to be circulated on internet-land.
