Pierre-Edouard Bellemare

Bellemare was at his best in 2019-20, posting a career-high 22 points in 69 games. The French center was fueled by a career-best 10.6 shooting percentage, so there's a decent chance regression rears its head in 2020-21, especially since Bellemare isn't likely to see more than a fourth-line role. At 35 years old, Bellemare won't ever be a huge scoring threat, but he's solid defensively and should see a fairly consistent role for the Avalanche. Just don't expect him to crack the 20-point threshold again.

After spending parts of two seasons honing his craft with the Golden Knights, Bellemare looks forward to fulfilling his penalty-killing duties with Colorado. He's procured another two-year deal, with a $1.8 million annual rake counting as the highest earnings of his career. Last season, the Avalanche ranked 25th in defending the power play (78.7 percent), so look for Bellemare to be deployed heavily in those situations. He's averaged only 12:50 of ice time in the five years that he's been in the NHL -- including a three-year run with the Flyers -- which means the Frenchman, who's never topped 16 points in a season, requires maximum offensive efficiency to make a splash in fantasy hockey.

Bellemare was selected by the Golden Knights in the expansion draft having been unprotected by the Flyers. The 33-year-old didn't make much of an impact in a bottom-six role, managing six goals and 16 points in 72 games. Bellemare failed to find the back of the net during the team's historic postseason run and shouldn't be considered a noteworthy fantasy player entering 2018-19. The French forward plays on the fourth line and has never reached 20 points in his NHL career, making him only worth a look in deep settings.
