It might just come down to how many games Wolf ends up playing. He has been great so far, but I think a big part of that could be because how they are managing workload.
It's been like 15 years or so since a goalie won it (Steve Mason in 08/09, and he played in 61 games). Before that, Raycroft won in 203/04 playing in 57 games. Then Nabokov won in 00/01 playing in 66 games.
I think that is one of the reasons that makes it a more difficult award for a goalie to win. For Wolf to have a real chance, he probably needs to get close to 60 games. Given how Huska likes to rotate goalies, it's going to be a tough benchmark to reach.#
