Is that setting expectations too high? Could Dustin Wolf legitimately be the next "big" thing in Calgary?
I think for a team and fanbase looking for a bit of hope and optimism, he definitely brings that. The only thing he needs IMO is the opportunity and a bit of leash; you don't need to play him 10 games in a row but at least give him some regular games and the opportunity to compete for more.
