Recently, Kraken and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare have reached an agreement that will see the French forward join the San Francisco-based team. This is a major move for both parties, as Bellemare has been one of the most successful players in the NHL for the past few seasons, and Kraken is looking to bolster their roster with a veteran presence.
Bellemare, who has spent the last five seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights, is known for his tenacious style of play. He is a two-way player who can be counted on to provide both offense and defense. He is also a leader in the locker room, and his experience will be invaluable to the Kraken.
The 33-year-old forward has scored at least 10 goals in each of his last four seasons, and he has tallied at least 20 points in each of those campaigns. He also has a strong defensive game, as evidenced by his plus/minus rating of +11 last season.
Kraken General Manager Doug Wilson is excited about the signing, saying, “Pierre-Edouard is a great addition to our team. His experience and leadership will be invaluable to our young players, and his skill set will help us compete for a Stanley Cup.”
Bellemare is equally excited about the move, saying, “I am thrilled to be joining the Kraken. I am looking forward to playing in front of such passionate fans and helping the team reach its goals.”
The signing of Bellemare is a major move for the Kraken, and it shows that they are serious about competing for a championship. With Bellemare in the fold, the Kraken have added a veteran presence to their roster that will help them take the next step towards becoming a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.
