He did mention Wolf's elite edges, which overlaps lateral movement for sure, but IMO, Wolf is as quick and controlled moving laterally as any goalie I have seen in a long time. I hate to make the comparison, but he looks somewhat Hasek-esque in that regard.

He certainly can move, but it's more the way he moves. He's got that swagger and puck tracking only the elite talents have, all while moving laterally with poise, precision and speed. Reminds me of a hybrid between Kipper (blazing speed and athletecism), and Cam Ward (perfect precise movement and posture)
