Both sides were so chill, that I think it gave Conroy a chance to work on other things.
I am surprised at the AAV. I was expecting more with the cap going up and with Wolf having most of the leverage. Obviously there is risk in signing a goalie with not a lot of NHL experience to a long term deal, but if you believe in the player, you need to roll the dice on them. Wolf has had to continually prove himself at every level, so mentally I don't think this will take his foot off the pedal.
