We won't know what we've got in Wolf, or just how good Wallstedt or Askarov are until they've played in the bigs for a good while. If you look at the list of previous winners of the Baz Bastien Memorial Award (AHL Goalie of the Year), there is a heck of a lot of mediocrity when it comes to NHL projection- although Wolfie is the only one to win it back-to-back (LaBarbera won it twice). I still love Wolfie, though.
