I’m super excited to hear about the progression of Solovyov as I think his first year in the Ahl was solid and really like the idea of a stay-at-home meat and potatoes D with size coming up through the ranks. He’s already been a better than average pick for a 7th rounder by making it this far, totally rooting for him.
My question is what is it like to watch Wolf up close and personal on a routine basis and how does he compare to other goalie prospects we’ve had in the past from your viewings? When’s it time to get truly excited by the hype, has that time come? Not bad for another 7th rounder, the scouting staff needs to be applauded for some of the later picks the past few years.

Thank you for the excellent feedback.
Wolf is really incredible. Very calm on and off the ice, truly a nice guy and surprisingly funny. Unbelievably athletic — probably the most acrobatic goalie I've seen in the organization since Miikka. I want to see him begin to get games in April. The one word I would use (and have used) above all others to describe him is "perfectionist."
