At some point you need to play the player in the role they are best suited to at the NHL level and let them develop there.
I don't think for Wolf that means he needs to be a starter. But I do think for his development he needs to play at least 25 NHL games next season.

I think guys get more opportunities than people are willing to recognize or give the Flames credit for.
I can’t think of a prospect that’s really been held back in any way. If you earn it, you get your shot, and if play at an NHL level, you stick. Not much different than any other team that isn’t in full rebuild mode.
I have no doubt Wolf will get a fair shot. The hand wringing about it doesn’t make sense to me.
