Last Sunday was one of those sleepy, too-hot days around the midwest. Add to that the August-induced malaise around the NHL and I wouldn’t blame you if the Wild's re-signing of Brett Bulmer didn’t get your attention. It’s a limited contract at one year, and as the Star Tribune’s Michael Russo notes Bulmer "has a lot to prove." It’s not exciting news, but it’s news.
I won’t claim here that Bulmer’s signing is revolutionary for the Wild, and I won’t pretend like we should expect great things from him going forward, because I honestly don’t expect much.
