PIERRE-EDOUARD BELLEMARE - Left Winger - 34 - $1.80MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 6/20/19
The heart and soul of Vegas' bottom-6, P-E Bellemare has always been loved wherever he plays. He's a defensive center, focused on bringing sensible two-way play and strong leadership to any fourth line. He's severely offensively limited, and shouldn't get more than 20 points a year, but scoring isn't why he's in the NHL. He's in the NHL to play 12 minutes of shutdown hockey per night, with a few of those minutes killing penalties. At 34 years old, Bellemare's defensive prowess should weaken as his speed begins to erode, but he still has the instincts, heart, and intelligence to remain a viable defensive 4C on an average team for the next year or two. He's an incredibly limited player, but what he's asked to do nightly he does well, so he should get a decent contract to be a team's 4C and part of that team's leadership group for this coming season.
