Couple of extra inches on wingspan.
Height of shoulders to the crossbar. (two pucks of space)
Couple of extra inches covering the bottom of the net.
Impossible to quantify.
But curious as to how much of a difference it actually makes.

It always reminds me of 'Moneyball' where some scouts are too focused on physical attributes rather than skills and talents.
Can Wolf make the jump to the Show? Its not going to be seamless or anything, it rarely is with goalies, but will he be given the chance?
This more or less goes to show that he's got nothing left to prove in the AHL.
