Way to really show your top prospect how valuable he is. Make him wait to the last game of the season last year to get any playing time. Continue to shuffle him down to the minors this coming year. Really showing confidence in him. Especially considering how mediocre/abysmal the teams goaltending was last season.
You guys crack me up.

As I already mentioned Wolf is waiver exempt and the Flames farm team is in Calgary meaning he can freely move between the AHL and NHL. This allows him to play tons of hockey and get NHL experience. This is great for his develop and doesn’t force them to make a trade they probably don’t like. Why wouldn’t Conroy take advantage of that?
In your ideal scenario we trade Vladar (for pennies) and then have Wolf ride the bench in the NHL for 50 games? That is the situation that reduces his playing time, not the one I suggested.
You don’t think Conroy and the management team is having open and honest conversations with Wolf about his development? You don’t think he’s in the loop on what is happening?
You are the on cracking everybody up, good grief.
