Brett Bellemore

Bellemore, who signed a one-year contract with Carolina in July, played in 64 games for the Hurricanes last season and was a regular member of the team’s blue line corps from February to April. Unfortunately, scoring is not one of Bellemore’s strong suits, as he has only been able to contribute two goals and eight assists over the stretch of his two-year tenure in Raleigh. The defenseman stands to improve on those numbers since he's slowly but surely gaining professional experience, but don’t expect a big spike in his totals just yet. He will likely continue to play a stay-at-home role as part of the team’s third defensive pairing, so generating offense will not be high on his to-do list once again this upcoming season.
