But goalies who know what they’re doing don’t just forget, and Wolf knows what he’s doing.
Sign him to the best eight year deal you can and don’t overthink it.

There are typically a few goalies who dominate for long periods. Like 4 or 5 that just consistently kill it over a 10 year stretch.
But there also seems to be many goalies that are flashes in the pan, catch lightning in a bottle, and then fade away fast.
I am not worried about Wolf though. He has been consistently developed into the best goalie at every league he has been in, and the early returns seem to be staying on that trend. He has also had to prove people wrong at every level which I suspect created a drive for him to keep doing just that regardless of when he gets the bag. I'd be fine if they just lock him long term when they have a chance.
My bigger worry is that it takes out of running to build the team with high draft picks, so I wonder how we'll get the guns needed to build a true contender. Conroy is going to have make some shrewd moves, and the scouts need on their A game for sure.
