I do think he needs better coaching because I think he is out of control a lot, and tracks the puck less well than Markstrom and other goalies. I do think he has ability and I hate to give up on a guy like that.

What concerns me is that he's in year three with the Flames and he's not really improved in the aspects you are talking about as that's exactly the way he was in his first season. It's hard to judge backup goaltenders when they aren't getting a lot of work but at the same time there's kind of a minimum standard for any NHL goaltender and he's not meeting that. If they move Markstrom over the summer we are going to find out what the Flames have in both Vladar and even the early returns for Wolf because they would both get ample chances to start.
