Wolf may have lost it last night with a bad 5 minutes.
TBH Hutson has probably ran away with it over the last 25 or so games.

Wolf has struggled a little bit down the stretch here, posted this in the Ducks game thread.

Vladar struggled in the middle portion of the season no matter how you slice it IMO. Wolf started to get more harder starts and flourished in that time period.

Game 1-25
Vladar: 12 GP, .900, -0.21 GSAA
Wolf: 13 GP, .918, 7.17 GSAA

Game 26-50
Vladar: 9 GP, .864, -8.84 GSAA
Wolf: 16 GP, .916, 5.91 GSAA

Game 51-78

Vladar: 8 GP, .921, 4.78 GSAA
Wolf: 21 GP, .899, 1.07 GSAA

So problem is the last 30 or so team games Vladar has been really good in limited starts. And they've probably overplayed Wolf a bit and he's struggled a little bit.
Hutson though is third among d-men with 24 points over the last 25 games, 58.6% xGF, and 27 GF - 12 GA at 5v5 in that time.

And the Canadiens are 14-7-4 in that time frame.

Unfortunately Hutson is the deserving winner at this point in time.

And even more unfortunate is that Treliving didn't do the obvious thing to take Hutson in that draft. Imagine if we had Hutson and Wolf on the team this year, with Parekh waiting in the wings...that would have been nice.
