Per Steve Zipay, the Rangers have invited former Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Bellemore to camp on a PTO. Bellemore is a right-handed defenseman that played in 49 games with the Canes last year, putting up 2-8-10. Bellemore was a net-negative possession player, both raw and relative, in Carolina the last two seasons.

Bellemore will likely be competition for Raphael Diaz for the 7D spot, and possibly insurance in case neither Dylan McIlrath nor Brady Skjei are ready for 8D responsibilities (injury call up).
