Wolf deserves a shot, what he does with it (this year and in future years) is up to him. I do think Markstrom will bounce back next year so hopefully it’s a good tandem regardless.
Also, you can’t just measure square footage because a taller, heavier guy isn’t going to be as quick or explosive as Wolf. Flexibility plays into it as well. Goaltending has also evolved from being a blocker with the smaller equipment; Saros is a great example and hopefully Wolf will follow in his footsteps.

I’m assuming you mean Jim Abbott — he had two arms but only one hand. The interesting thing is that he was an excellent fielder, likely because he knew he had to be (as otherwise the other team would try to bunt on him to get on base).
