I think its overblown and its no surprise its Salam running with this narrative and having a story ready to go on the TSN webpage.
The team needs to win some games as it finds its way, and Markstrom and Vladar are sewering our chances with poor goals allowed.
We have to win a few 2-1 or 3-1 with the empty which should get the confidence up and the team gelling.
Its time to inject Wolf into the team along with Zary and Poirer.

This is kind of silly. No offence.
The Flames scored 2 goals against Detroit and 1 against NYR.
Wolf isn’t holding Detroit to 1 or 2 with the giveaways and breakdowns. Cross crease 2 on 1 with no backcheck where the guy puts it top corner under the bar. Gotta be realistic.
(Just realized I said ‘no offence’. It works in two ways. They really didn’t make Reimer make any tough saves)
And he isn’t pitching a shutout against the NYR chances either. Even the squeaker getting through Marky isn’t good, but it stopped short of the line and the Flames back checker lost the race for that puck
The team has to clean up a lot before any goalie helps anything. You just can’t have bad turnovers and allow clear odd man rushes and hope your prospect goalie bails you out
As much as people are fantasizing about Wolf, drop him in and no results change. He isn’t invincible. He let in 6 in the AHL game last Saturday
Gotta be realistic about what’s happening on the ice. It ain’t pretty
