Fantasy Analysis
Oskars Bartulis had been fighting for the seventh defenseman spot with Walker, but it's possible the team could bring him back in that role if Walker gets claimed and he doesn't, as right now the team has just six healthy blueliners. Either way, there's not much value so long as he's not guaranteed playing time. (Updated 10/05/2011).

What does the Atlantic Division have to offer Fantasy owners on Draft Day this fall? Peter Maingot of Rotowire sees what the Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Flyers and Penguins have addressed this offseason.
Bartulis' 2010-11 campaign was shortened in February with a dislocated shoulder that required surgery to repair. In the 13 games he actually dressed for, Bartulis failed to manage a point and turned in a lackluster rating of minus-4. He played for the Latvian national team this summer, indicating that he's healthy, but he's still likely to be one of the last blueliners to make the Flyers' roster out of training camp.
