If you look at Wolf, Wallstedt, and Askaraov who tend to be mentioned as the three best goalie prospects.
Wolf: 127 GP - .927 Save Percentage
Askarov: 81 GP - .912 Save Percentage
Wallstedt: 73 GP - .907 Save Percentage
Doesn't guarantee anything of course...and his size will always be a knock against him at the NHL level...but the guy is the best performing U-23 goalie in the World. And I'm not sure there is much debate against that.
Maybe it doesn't translate to the NHL level, maybe it does, but he's absolutely an A Goalie Prospect.

I don’t think that anyone can disagree that Wolf has better minor league stats than the other two.
But his size does raise questions if he can continue doing that at the NHL level. These days, there is little current history of goalies his size even playing in the NHL.
For that reason, the other two would be coveted more than Wolf by GM’s.
He’s not just small , he’s very small. He’s always adjusted to leagues as he’s gone along, this last step will be a huge step for him.
