In head-to-head competition against Markstrom and Vladar in camp, Wolf didn't prove that he was the best goalie. They can't carry three goalies on the roster, so they had to send one down, and he's the only one who wouldn't have to go through waivers. End of story.

Not end of story, this is just another example in a long line of "have it both ways" for our organization and it's most stalwart defenders when they're acting dumb about obvious decisions. You can't say his preseason wasn't impressive so he doesn't get the chance while simultaneously saying that 1.5 years of Markstrom being absolutely one of the worst goalies in the whole league (statistically and visually) is not enough sample size to judge what he will look like this coming season.
