Young goalies are such a crapshoot. We’ve had so many future number ones that were elite in junior and very good in the ahl only to fizzle away. It’s an amazing problem to have. I personally would overcook Wolf in the minors and keep Vladar and Markstrom as long as possible if both are playing well yet.
Who know with injuries, and slumps etc. Better to have too many options and great depth rather than trade one of them and then be scrambling to reaquire a good goalie, giving up good assets to do so. Wolf dominating the AHL and hopefully wining championships down there is not a bad thing and then he will be extra seasoned by the time he is called upon at the nhl level.
I can honestly say I have wondered the same thing a time or two but it generally all just works out in time if nobody panicks.
