I think you would try something like 35 games next year, 45 the next than 55 which is most starters work load. But could be dead wrong too. The Ranjerks had Shesterkin go to 35 in the 56 game Covid season after he'd been similar to Wolf the previous year for NHL games. Although Shesterkin was 25 instead of what will be 23, and 35 games with limited travel out of 56 compares a bit differently to say 55 in a full 82 with full travel.
Still you can't run Wolf with Vladar. Might not need to be Markstrom, but has to be a decent NHL goaltender. Yes I'm ready to cast Vladar aside...I don't think he's consistent enough to be a Rittich let alone anything more.
