Has there ever been an example comparable to Wolf's to begin with?

Logan Thompson is probably the closest comparable, and while it's been impressive it's still early.

Jake Allen is also recent, and he levelled off pretty hard.

Matt Murray might be the best total case study and that's not entirely encouraging.

Definitely not a "worry" from the outset, but not exactly a demonstrable example either.
