Then he got recalled again and look where he is. He's a lock for next season.
The same needs to happen for Wolf now. Give him 2-3 games up, let him face NHL shots and see what happens. Then send him back to get some (hopefully) glory in the AHL. This guy doesn't need any more seasoning in the minors, he's ready.

Yeah, I just meant back in the days as in the time where I watched every single AHL from the front row and could really tell those subtle differences.
I still feel bad for Tim Ramholt. He was the other end of the spectrum. Had a single shift and was on for a goal against, Keenan benched him and he never again played in the NHL. You could see visible frustration in his game after that. I empathized with him.
