Yeah it makes sense and is practical, but some players need to be quenched like a sword right out of the oven. I.e thrown into the deepend and you let him swim. I believe Wolf is that one player the Flames have you have to let him roll on the tidal wave he's riding right now.
Am I saying give him 63 starts? No? But I think sub 40 starts would be a marker.
Between 30-40. I believe in this player. I believe he has the stuff. He's proven it at every level. Repeatedly over spans of seasons at each stop. ImO, there's nothing left for him on the farm other than stagnation.

Well, there’s playing time, which pretty much every goalie in the NHL throughout history has mentioned as being important when it comes to staying sharp and playing well.
Even if you give Wolf 30 games in the NHL, you ought to give him another couple dozen in the AHL.
He wants to play, and he wants to play well. What goaltender wants to man the door for 50 games?
