Fantasy Analysis
The 2010 second-round pick scored 34 goals and 62 points in 53 games at Kelowna. Brett Bulmer should compete for a spot with the Wild next fall. (Updated 03/31/2012).
Bulmer was a second-round (No. 39 overall) selection by the Wild in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Between the 2008-11 seasons, the physical winger totaled 89 points (31 G, 58 A) and 206 penalty minutes in just 125 games with his junior club, the Kelowna Rockets, of the WHL. In 2010-11, Bulmer got a taste of the pros and made eight playoff appearances with AHL Houston before signing an entry-level contract with the Wild last April. There is no reason to draft him in fantasy leagues just yet. (Updated 8/16/11)
