Recently, we learned that the St. Louis Blues have granted Milan Lucic a professional tryout. The tough guy hasn’t played in the NHL since the start of the 2023-24 season. First, he injured his ankle, but was also arrested by the police for domestic violence while rehabilitating… What’s more, he also went through the player assistance program.

In short, he’ll have to prove that he still belongs in the NHL at the Blues’ next camp before he can return to the NHL. And if he manages to sign a contract for the season, he’d already have an opponent to face. Last summer, during an autograph session, Matt Rempe was asked which player he’d like to face in a fight, and his answer was Lucic

[content-ads]Knowing all this about Lucic, Rempe will finally get his wish, if Lucic manages to carve out a spot in St. Louis. Rempe is known for taking on the toughest in the NHL, without necessarily having much success in general. He takes too many big hits and when he faced Mathieu Olivier, he understood that fighting in the NHL doesn’t just require a big frame.

Having thrown down the gauntlet against Olivier, Ryan Reaves, Arber Xhekaj, Nicolas Deslauriers, Dylan McIlrath and more, he could add to his resume by taking on Lucic.It would round out his fighting portfolio nicely, even if Lucic isn’t the same guy he used to be.

Although Lucic is now 37, he’s still a tough guy, and Rempe shouldn’t take him lightly, otherwise it could hurt… a lot. On the other hand, not only does Lucic have to make the club in St. Louis, but he also has to be dressed when the Blues take on the New York Rangers. What’s more, Rempe still has things to prove, as he was still shuttling between the club-school and the NHL in 2024-25. In short, the chances of this happening are slim, but they’re not impossible.
