Last year, Wolf had a record of 29-16-8, with an average goal of 2.64. 910% savings. His 29 wins led all rookie goalkeepers to win. Additionally, his three eliminations are the most among rookie goalkeepers.
All the discussions about players wanting to leave Calgary, each player has a different situation and why they want to go, but Wolf’s long-term delay conveys a message that one wants to win there.
“I think it’s a good message for everyone. I mean, people want to join Calgary and they believe we have a chance to win here,” GM Craig Conroy Flames via SportsNet’s Eric Francis.
This summer, the flames have extended hierarchies. It began with Conor Zary, who had just signed a three-year contract, followed by Dustin Wolf. Craig Conroy knew that he had to step out in the face of postponement before the salary cap and Wolf had another level.

Everyone in the organization is convinced that Wolf wants to be there for the long term. He stayed because he wanted to go there for a long time, as he mentioned on Vegas’ NHL North American Players Tour, in an interview with SportsNet.
“There was a conversation, but it wasn’t really confirmed. I’d love to stay here, and I think they want me to stay here, too. So, once something happens to us both, we both like where we are and I’m sure that at that time, it won’t be very long when the pen is written on paper.”
Calgary’s flames are locked in the foreseeable future, as Craig Conroy and Calgary’s flames are now available for select rooms to add. Not to mention the question mark of defenseman Rasmus Andersson.
Calgary hopes to be in a similar position and enters the playoffs behind Dustin Wolf’s game as he continues to prove himself an outstanding talent in the NHL.
