Brett Bulmer is a second round pick (39th overall) of the Minnesota Wild.
Good for him.
Coming into the draft Bulmer was projected to be a late 3rd rounder at best, but the Wild obviously like what they see from the Prince George resident.
I am pleasantly surprised at the early selection.
Congratulations Brett.
The last time a Rockets player was picked in the second round was in 2004 when Blake Comeau was selected by the Islanders, 47th overall.
Technically Bulmer was picked higher than Comeau (2004) and Shea Weber (2003). Weber was a second round pick of Nashville, 49th overall.
What makes this pick so impressive is Bulmer was selected before highly touted Seattle goaltender Calvin Pickard.
The Edmonton Oilers picked Kelowna resident Curtis Hamilton 9 spots later.

Luke Moffat got drafted 7th round, bet he is happy that he snubbed the CHL. He is on record saying that the USHL was going to get him drafted 1st round, oops.
