Good depth signing and a great personality.
Announcement from team on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SeattleKraken/status/1677399491270545409
I discussed the Kraken’s remaining roster holes [in a previous comment here](https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleKraken/comments/14p2j7y/johnston_the_erik_karlsson_trade_talks_have_gone/jqle9ry/). I’m guessing Bellemare will be a 13/14 spare F on this roster, but he could also be an alternative to Shane Wright at 4C. Assuming Hayden is an option again this season, the 3 question mark roster spots look like:
* 4C: Wright (?) / Hayden / Bellemare
* 13 F: Hayden
* 14 F: Bellemare
If Wright makes the team, we’re set. If not, they need 1 more depth F.
One thing to note here – the Kraken are being conservative with the money they are handing out, probably to make sure they have the $s needed to re-sign Dunn and Borgen since both are due raises.
His analytics aren’t too hot on first impression but at 1 year at near league minimum there isn’t much to complain about here.

Above 50% face off last 6 years including a 60% FO% a couple years ago. Great 4th line addition for that reason alone.
I was looking at 4th line options the other day and he stood out to me. Shame he isn’t a righty. Good signing.
Very good on the faceoff and pp/pk. Also a really great guy off the ice. Gonna miss him but very good move by the Kraken
Great guy for the room. Decent on draws. Gets heavy defensive usage and has a good rep for it even though fancy stats sometimes disagree.
I love me some Pebbles, though. As a Flyers fan originally, I’ve been a fan of his ever since he first came over. Great signing.
