That's a big risk from the Flames for a young goalie, but I don't think we want to see what the number will be if he pulls off a big season. 7.5m aav would put him 10th in goalie salary (negating Carey Price ltir).

$7.5mil aav is like second line money now, Wolf is tracking to be a star goalie, potentially superstar.
In the current and near future salary cap climate it'd be very difficult to convince Wolf to accept $7.5 aav for max term. $7.5 - $8.5mil AAV is likely going to get you a disastrous 2-3 year term (he's a UFA 2028 and I can't see any scenario where Conroy walks a potential elite goalie to free agency after being a part of Tkachuk walking).
Most likely need $10-$12mil if you want him to commit to a contract that takes him to 30+ years old. 8 year term is asking him to sign his payday contract in his career that takes him through his prime.
