I’m more 50/50 on this after seeing OT deployment last night. The Rangers were rotating 11 forwards, so Rempe was benched yeah, but the Canes were rotating 9. The Rangers are not likely going to suffer from one guy benched in OT if the Canes are benching 3.
Bullshit penalties called against him at any time during the normal course of the game when he’s out there is still a potential problem though.
Tough call, but I’m less concerned about losing depth from his benchings late in a close game than I was. At least against the Canes here.
