The Flames need to get Wolf into a decent string of starts before the end of the year - 5 or 6 starts in a span of the final 12 to15 games. Not only does it help the team evaluate him at the NHL level, but it also gives Wolf a clear indication of what he needs to work on to be fully ready next year. This is mainly learning how to work through screens and traffic and you can't really do that until you've had a decent amount of starts to begin figuring it out.
At this point, Vladar should not even be in the conversation for more action given his performance over the last 2 seasons. I doubt there's a single team that doesn't have a better or lateral option. Getting rid of him likely won't be an easy sell given the bloated contract he's on for a below average backup.
