Going forward a top tier goalie is going to start with an 8 with the superstar ones getting 11+. Wolf is looking like he'll be top tier minimum, and a good chance he'll be a super star, likely pushing him to 11+ on an 8 year deal.

5 goaltenders in the entire league that make 8+ this year. 6 starting next year with the Shesterkin deal.
2 of those are cup winners.
Wolf hasnt even played a full season yet. He just doesn't have the leverage to squeeze Conroy for that kind of dough.
I agree you ink him this July for as long as he will go for.
Its unlikely. IMO. that the number starts with an 8 though.
