Scouting Report

Assets:	Has the ability to rack up points on the power play because of a huge point shot. Makes a crisp first pass out of the defensive zone and joins the rush with aplomb. Can also play wing. Is very heady on offense.
Flaws:	It's a struggle for him to receive regular ice time as a defenseman because he turns the puck over a lot and isn't great in defensive-zone coverage. At 5-9, 198 pounds, he'll always have trouble handling big NHL forwards.
Career Potential:	Versatile power-play specialist with a big point shot.

Player News

Canes get Marc-Andre Bergeron from Lightning | 04/02/2013 11:26 AM

News

The Tampa Bay Lightning have traded Marc-Andre Bergeron to the Carolina Hurricanes for a seventh round pick and Adam Hall.

Pierre LeBrun on Twitter

Impact

Bergeron has a goal and five points in 12 games this season. Those numbers might not be particularly impressive, but Bergeron is great with the man advantage and the Hurricanes are last in the NHL when it comes to power-play percentage. With that in mind, Bergeron might play often enough with Carolina to justify picking up in standard leagues.

M.A. Bergeron scratched v Habs | 03/09/2013 12:38 PM

News

Marc-Andre Bergeron will once again sit in the press box Saturday night.

Damian Cristodero Twitter

Impact

A game against Montreal might have been a treat for Bergeron, but he will not get the chance to suit up. Adam Hall and Brendan Mikkelson will also be healthy scratches.

Marc-Andre Bergeron re-enters the fold | 02/20/2013 12:11 PM

News

Marc-Andre Bergeron played consecutive games for the first time this season following Tuesday's contest.

Tampa Tribune

Impact

He served as a healthy scratch 10 times in the first 14 games and has been the subject of trade rumors. Bergeron had an assist on the winning goal Saturday against Florida, but his ice time dropped back against Toronto on Tuesday.

Marc-Andre Bergeron gets in lineup Saturday | 02/17/2013 12:18 PM

News

Marc-Andre Bergeron played for just the second time since January 25th in Saturday's contest against the Panthers.

Tampa Tribune

Impact

Bergeron, who was once a pretty fair offensive rearguard on the power play no longer has any fantasy value.

M.A. Bergeron healthy scratch again Saturday | 02/09/2013 2:04 PM

News

It appears as if Marc-Andre Bergeron has a permanent seat in the Lightning press box this season.

Erik Erlendsson Twitter

Impact

He is not playing much and will not play Saturday against the Bruins. Bergeron, who was once a pretty fair offensive rearguard no longer has any fantasy value. If you drafted him, drop him immediately.

M.A. Bergeron healthy scratch Friday | 02/02/2013 1:01 PM

News

Marc-Andre Bergeron was a healthy scratch Friday night.

Tampa Tribune

Impact

The veteran rearguard has only played in two games this season and seems to be regarded as the Bolts' seventh defenseman. Bergeron has long ceased to be fantasy relevant.
