Logan Thompson
Kaapo Kahkonen
Nedeljkovic
Petr Budaj
Matt Murray
Jake Allen
Bernier
Schneider
Michael Leighton
Labarbera
Roloson
Ryan Miller
Martin Biron
Manny Legacy
Felix Potvin
Corey Hirsch
The above are the highlights. There were very few complete missed on the list, maybe a handful. I wouldn’t use the word mediocrity that’s for sure. Maybe there are no superstars because they don’t tend to play in the AHL long enough to win this award.

You don’t consider Labarbera, Legace, or Hirsch to be mediocre NHL goaltenders? I think if Wolf were to have the career that those guys did, most on this board would be extremely disappointed. Nedejlkovich had a promising start to his career, but has fallen of a cliff. You left out JF Labbe, Frederic Chabot, Jim Carrey, Scott Langkow, Martin Brochu, Marc Lamothe, Dany Sabourin, Brad Theissen, Yann Danis, Niklas Svedberg, Troy Grosenick, Garrett Sparks, and almost every goalie who won it in the 80’s. Doesn’t matter anyway, as the point has been made that Wolf has far more accolades in his young career than most goalies to have played in the AHL.
