I am not convinced this is true. If it were then I would expect a significantly denser variety of different-size goalies in thd NHL.

So yeah, combined with his AHL results I'm now pretty bullish on his career trajectory and the Juuse Saros comparable is a pretty good one. Another comparable I would use is Jaroslav Halak.
I would consider both Galax and Saros good, but not great NHL goalies. If Wolf reaches this sort of potential that is an excellent achievement, but it is still a huge distance from being an elite-level NHL starter like several here are projecting.
