The Carolina Hurricanes have been relatively unsuccessful at drafting players late in the draft, but Brett Bellemore has proven to be an exception.
Brett Bellemore was a sixth round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. After years in the minors, Brett Bellemore has proven that he deserves to be in the NHL.
He is a good, young defensive defenseman that the Carolina Hurricanes have seen develop in front of them over the last years or so. He has proven that he can be relied on as a top-six defenseman and a penalty killer in a very short time.
Brett Bellemore has had a very good season with defenseman Ron Hainsey. Hainsey has done a great job helping Brett Bellemore turn into a very useful NHL defenseman.
I think the Carolina Hurricanes should bring back Brett Bellemore
Verdict: Re-Sign (1 year, $800k)
