Probably not a strong market to begin with but maybe not impossible. But if we get to next fall and a goalie needs to be waived to play for the Wranglers, I doubt it's Wolf. Feels like Dan's time has come to an end regardless.

Maybe the hip issue played a role in his poor play this season?

Guess that may explain why he has been one of the wrost goalies in the nhl the last 2 seasons.

I am wondering about that too. Get him surgery now, let Wolf get playing time backing up Markstrom and hopefully a pain free Vladar can be a great stop gap next year while Wolf adapts to being an NHL starter. Split the duties between them and let the hot hand play more.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Yeah if Markstrom still has a nagging issue you'd think Wolf gets the vast majority of the starts to close things out.

Make sense. Vladar looked pretty not into it the whole season. This explains that.

I expect some veterans also take some games off for rest of season. The season is lost so the team better prepare for the next season.

Make sense to get it done now so he can properly train over the summer and come back for next season.

This probably just means his hip has been bugging him and they may as well get it done now. They could haveplayed with dates and kept him out of surgery until the start of the season then done it so they carry only two goalies to start. But this means IMO that they want him in shape to be traded in the offseason.

If Markstrom is on the block for this summer, I'd like to see him showcased with some strong games to finish out the season too.

All I can get

Seems timed with the aim of keeping Wolf up on an Emergency Recall, first for Markstrom and now Vladar. This way, four regular recall slots are kept available for skaters.

Second that. Roy, Giguere, Lehner, and a bunch of butterfly goalies had either hip or knee issues doing that style.

Not that we really need the spots though.

I fear that he will become more machine than man.
And also maybe my Father.

Well...if you feel the impulse to Rule the Galaxy together, just let us know, maybe win a couple Cups for the Flames first? And then we can discuss all this Galactic Domination.

Vladar should really have a mask that just looks like Vader's helmet...wear it with Blasty jerseys.

Oh damn...that would look awesome.
Although...while Mr. Edwards is a wealthy man...I'm almost positive the House of Mouse would get a wee bit litigious.

14 games left. 2 back-to-back's. So split those and there's 10 games. I hope Wolf gets at least 6 of those. Finish with at least 8 more games on the season.
