Because Wolf is waiver-exempt, he can transfer between Calgary and Calgary as many times as they want this season. I suspect the plan right now is for Markstrom to start about 45 games, Wolf 25, and Vladar about a dozen.
This allows Wolf to get another 25 or so in the AHL, rather than just sitting on the bench for half the season.
Of course, all it takes is for one goalie somewhere in the league to go down with a long-term injury and suddenly a trade partner for Vladar has opened up (or, depending on the goalie who gets hurt, possibly a trade partner for Markstrom).
