He has gotten over 100 games in the AHL. He is seasoned. He is ready. Sure I don't think anyone wants him getting the McElhinney treatment where he only gets to play once a month, but I think the expectation should already be him as a 1b. Unless Markstrom has a huge rebound year, I think he should be the 1a this year which allows Wolf to ease in and then be ready next year for full time starter duty. And I am optimistic enough about Wolf that I could see him taking over this year based on performance. I think it would be much better for his career if he played 30 NHL games than 50 AHL games.

What about 30 NHL games and 20 AHL games?
