I was just coming to post this. Here is what Wheeler has to say about Wolf in that article:
Quote:
4. Dustin Wolf, G, 19 (Calgary Flames — 214th overall, 2019)
He’s going to keep proving everyone wrong and become an NHL goalie. I really did believe that last year before he fell to the bottom of the draft, and his stellar play in 2019-2020 only helped his case. Wolf is small. He’s listed at 6-feet and even that feels generous. But he never looks small. He’s almost always in position. When he gets off of his line he has a great glove hand. He’s got quick feet but he doesn’t swim. And the numbers speak for themselves. We know that hockey players are unique from one another in more ways than professional athletes in many other sports are but we still tend to box them in as “you can’t be a 6-foot starting goalie in today’s NHL” and so on. That isn’t always the case, though, and while they may inform the likelihood we place on an outcome, there are always exceptions. I think Wolf has what it takes in skillset and mindset to be one of those exceptions.
