"Incredibly driven, incredibly focused and wants to get better every single day," is how Kreider described Rempe. "He's super disciplined and has incredible willpower, and he's a sponge. He's just going to keep on getting better, which is scary for every other team."
Rempe said Kreider and Jets captain Adam Lowry are examples of the type of player he wants to become.
"I'm just trying to get better," Rempe said. "I feel like I can be a very effective bottom-six player who is fast, mean, physical, skates well, protects pucks, goes to the net, is good around the net, can play center or wing. I want to be a good penalty killer. I feel like I can be a guy one day on a shutdown line that can be very hard to play against and also create some offense around the net and bring pucks to the net. I've got a long way to go but that's all I'm working toward."
