Either way I think even being in conversation for being one of the top goalie prospects in the NHL is a great return on a 7th round pick.

The other prospect people are talking about is Levi, a 7th round pick who is the same height as Wolf.
Big goalies are great if you just need a body but smaller goalies still have the ability to be elite. Half of the goalies who finished in the top 10 in the NHL for save percentage last year were 6’2 or smaller.
A Henrik Karlsson will always find some time in the NHL because of misplaced notions that big is a quality worth looking for in a goalie but it seems like there are a decent number of small elite goalies.
