The Wild re-signed its last remaining restricted free agent Sunday by inking minor-league winger Brett Bulmer to a one-year, two-way contract. Bulmer, a 2010 second-round pick, scored a disappointing four goals and 12 assists in 53 games with the Iowa Wild last season.

To say Bulmer has a lot to prove this season is an understatement. He has 20 goals and 44 points in 145 AHL games. Always considered a project, Bulmer's spot on the Wild depth chart has fallen dramatically since getting a nine-game trial run with the Wild before being returned to junior hockey in 2011. He has played five scoreless NHL games in three seasons since and wasn't close to a callup last season.
As I said, all players are signed with training camp beginning Sept. 17.
I'll post a couple podcasts this week on malepatternpodcasts.com with columnist Jim Souhan. Check them out. They have been well received.
I also hope to make my annual State Fair appearance at the Star Tribune back porch with a Wild guest. Stay tuned for information on that.
Camp's a month away!
