Loyalty is earned, we have done nothing to encourage loyalty in Wolf. We haven't paid him big bucks, played him in favorable situations, or even showed him how his surreal performance in lower leagues will pay out in career trajectory. IMO it could be thought of by the player that the flames are purposely holding him back to extort better contract value out of him by the time they do need to re-sign him.
I reject (as always) your obtuse position TOfan. There's no reason for wolf to be loyal to the flames, that's the entire point of my argument. We've not given him reasons to trust us, and have given him reasons not to trust us. Not giving him an NHL spot is another reason not to trust us. I think it's becoming too many reasons.

Lol yup. The Flames are holding him back when they think he will make the team better to save a few dollars on his next contract. The much simpler explanation is that they want him playing full time in the AHL or to supplant Vladar as the back up. See if he can do it in camp.
