But it's clear you will skew any of this to suit your version of things.

No, that's insane levels of risk aversion. Wolf was a top performer in every league he played in. Multiple years as the top goalie in the AHL, the second best league on earth. Everyone here knew what he was. If the Flames didn't, then they need new pro scouts.
Markstrom is a pedestrian goalie who collapses under pressure. Jonas Hiller was better.
