Back during the 2014-15 season, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare began his NHL career with the Philadelphia Flyers at 29 years old. Since then, the now 39-year-old has played 10 seasons and 700 games at the NHL level, split between the Flyers, Vegas Golden Knights, Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Seattle Kraken.

Bellemare played for the Kraken during this past season. However, due to injury and several healthy scratches, he appeared in just 40 games, posting four goals, three assists, and a plus-4 rating.

While speaking with Norran’s Mille Dybro, Bellemare said that he plans to play in the NHL for at least another season.
Bellemare is an experienced forward known for his strong defensive play, skill at the faceoff dot, and leadership qualities. Therefore, it is possible that he could secure a one-year deal or professional tryout (PTO) contract before the start of training camp.
It will be intriguing to see if Bellemare gets his wish and finds a new home before the start of the season from here.
