Neither were expected to make the team, and the Rangers wanted to get them each at least one preseason game. Given how that game went, it isn’t surprising to see them returned pretty quickly. Rempe will be a top six forward with Seattle this season. Henriksson will go to Frolunda likely be put into a more significant role this season. IIHF rules state he can’t play in the AHL, so unless something changes, he won’t be able to help with some of their scoring depth.
As an aside, Henriksson has been talked about a lot over the years, but it is easy to forget he’s only 20 years old. His SHL contract expires at the end of next season, which is when we should expect him to come over full time.
