The first step to succeeding in the NHL as a goalie is to be exceptional in lower leagues. Good. Wolf has done that. There is a lot more work to be done were numerous exceptional junior goalies have stagnated.
I can't dig it up at the moment, but in a much earlier discussion about NHL goalies this year data was presented which shows rather clearly that a substantial majority are over 6'1". I have never suggested that Wolf's ceiling is already set as a result of his size, only that it is a factor which mitigates pretty strongly against his success if expectations are that he will become a long term starting NHL goalie.
