If you look at the names of goalies who made that list at the same age Wolf has it's Thatcher Demko, Tristan Jarry, & Matt Murray. Demko and Jarry are currently starters for their teams, Murray has been a starter and obviously a Stanley Cup winner.
Something that might give some hesitation to hoping Wolf takes over next year? Murray has clearly fallen off since early in his career, while Jarry and Demko seem to be maintaining their play (though Demko is down this year). Jarry and Demko didn't start 30 games until they were 24/25. Murray started 47 games his 22-year-old season. Dustin Wolf will turn 24 April 16, 2025.
