We also have Solovyov, Grushnikov, Kuznetsov and Jurmo as LD that might need some games with the Flames as soon as this season so we can see what we have in them.

No clue, and good point. I do worry about the defence in general and specifically what it means for Wolf. I'm not sure I believe in sink or swim for him, though I do believe in "tank", but not at the expense of Wolf if you truly believe he's a franchise goaltender. Having a veteran calming him down, or knowing one is around (in Gio) may be able to help Wolf's mind when this team does tank. I'm not sure if I fully believe in leadership being this dramatic thing, but at times if all the young guys are pointing fingers, an old guy may be able to put it in context when they don't have that ambitious skin in the game to take blame themselves.
