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?

How much playing time did Kipper get in the season he was traded to Calgary. I distinctly remember him mentioning that practicing every day with nhlers despite not playing at all helped him get better. Now I'm not saying call wolf up and play him 0 games. I'd rather the opposite and he played 60 in the big. Let's be real though, Wolf has outgrown the ahl. The risk of i****y playing meaningless AHL games isn't worth sending him down at all imo.
