Where is the benefit to pushing Wolf more? His development isn't suffering - so just bringing him along slowly makes sense. Especially when you look at the huge number of goaltenders who need hip surgery by the time they are 30.
I would agree that this is the only valid argument against Wolf not starting more games. Less wear and tear on the body to hopefully get more longevity out of him when the Flames actually have a team in front of him (hopefully).
