They've been doing these alongside each of their Top 20 lists, but it's kind of a confusing premise. It's essentially
who, among current 23 and Under players, will be the best of those players three years from now. The title they've given to this feature is not well written...
Anyway, finally some good news:
Quote:
Dustin Wolf, Calgary Flames (22): A native of Gilroy, California, Wolf had a strong NHL debut, making 23 saves in a 3-1 win against the San Jose Sharks, who he grew up watching, on April 12. Not a bad outing for Wolf, who turned 22 four days after that game. He was just as good on a larger scale for Calgary, the Flames' AHL affiliate, where he went 42-10-2, leading the league in wins, GAA (2.09), save percentage (.932) and shutouts (seven). Selected in the seventh round (No. 214) of the 2019 NHL Draft, Wolf was also 5-4-0 with a 2.67 GAA, .912 save percentage and one shutout in nine Calder Cup playoff games. Not surprisingly, he won the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Memorial Award as the AHL's top goalie for the second consecutive season. Wolf should challenge for the backup role behind Flames starter Jacob Markstrom and should make a big impact with them in the future.

Edit: Also I just now figured out that these lists are actually ranked. They don't actually show a ranking on them at all, so I've been assuming they were just non-ordered lists... It turns out that the (22) for Wolf isn't his age (he actually is 22), it's his total vote-points, and the list is ordered from first to fifth, making Wolf #3.
