It shouldn't really matter who the tandem partner is. Both are under the same circumstances. Both are/were young highly touted goalies playing their first full season. Both teams wanted to ease them in rather than give them the starters role from the start. Oettinger took over the next season just like Wolf will.

Every stat says he's been significantly worse. Wolf has a 7.42 GSAA (8th in the league) vs Vladar's 5.28 GSAA (63rd in the league). Which is basically on pace for the type of GSAA numbers Vladar has had the past two season. He's a mediocre backup.

I'm not debating that Wolf hasn't been the more impressive of the two. Just that Vladar hasn't been as bad as some try and make him out to be. I can't really think of many games were I thought Vladar cost his team the game. I can think of games though where I thought he helped secure them a win or atleast a point.
