Wolf's sv% is .909. League average is .900. That's a difference of about 12 goals, spread over the 45 games he's played. That's for sure a few more losses depending on how you distribute the goals.

However, if we got that same .900 from this average replacement in the games Vladar played, that's 5 goals-against saved, for a net change of 7 between the two.

So ... league-average goaltending and the Flames are worse by probably 4 points depending on how those goals get distributed. Which gives MoneyPuck's WAR stat some creedence.
