The Seattle Kraken have yet to extend an offer to their forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who is currently a free agent. While roster changes are common, letting Bellemare go might be a decision the team will regret.
The 39-year-old French national has been playing professionally since 2003, bringing valuable experience and wisdom to the ice. Known for his dedication, Bellemare often coaches teammates on faceoff techniques and takes on penalty-killing assignments without complaint.
While new talent is always welcome, Bellemare's recent performance at the IIHF World Championships indicates that he has fully recovered from his earlier injury and can still perform when it counts. Trading him would mean losing a valuable mentor and leader for the Kraken's junior players. Some things have no price.
