I think if Wolf had gone instead of Daccord as the 4th goalie, he would still be on the outside looking in to grab that third spot.
Teams value experience, especially at the international level for goalies.
The number of goalies who have excelled at the world juniors who have failed at the NHL level is huge, so that pedigree likely gets you nowhere. Just look at the CAD goalies who have led their team to a gold medal. A long list of failed goalie prospects.
