[edit] Playing Career
Bartulis began his career after being drafted 27th overall by the Moncton Wildcats in the 2004 CHL European Draft. He had a good first season, and earned a reputation as a two-way defenseman. In fact, after just one season with the Wildcats, he was drafted in the third round, 91st overall, in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Philadelphia Flyers.
Today, he is continuing to develop as a good two-way defenseman and is expected to break-out next season. He was a part of the 2005-06 QMJHL League champion team, but unfortunately, the Moncton Wildcats lost in the Memorial Cup Finals to the Quebec Remparts. He was recently traded to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles at the 2006 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft.
He signed a three year entry level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on September 23, 2006 following training camp. However, due to junior eligibility, he was returned to the QMJHL two days later.
