Quoting: hockeyconnor97
I figured it was unrealistic, just wanted to see flames fans opinions on moving wolf
Kinda confused on the flames goalie situation, when’s he gonna get the call up?? He seems ready, and vladar isn’t that great either rn to stop him from being the backup. Do they only wanna bring him up if he’s gonna start? If so would they move markstrom??
Markstrom has a NMC and just started a family, I doubt he’ll waive and agree to be Traded unless Backlund, Lindholm and Tanev were to leave. He’s also a more ideal Mentor to Wolf than Vladar would be
The reason Wolf isn’t up is because he’s still Young and Waivers Exempt. Furthermore, Vladar was better in Training Camp and they are being patient and waiting to Trade Vladar for decent value instead of giving him away
In Vladar’s defence and further reason as to why we don’t want to bring Wolf up, is that the Team in front of them are playing terribly and Markstrom has been playing much better, so there’s no point or rush in bringing Wolf up just to get blasted and lose confidence. He’s better off continuing to be the Starter and leading the Wranglers to the Top of the League again.
This all said, Wolf will get some NHL games this season,
as there could be an injury or illness and/or we could easily send a player down and bring him up and have all 3 Goalies on the Roster
IOW, he wouldn’t fair any better than Devon Levi in BUF and we don’t want to rush or screw up his development by putting that kind of pressure and expectation on him just yet. He has tons of time
