The plan seemed pretty simple at the time. It seemed to be the same plan that many teams have followed over the years in developing their “Goalie of the Future”. It was a plan that the Flames were set to follow based on the way they set up their goaltending pipeline.
However, Dustin Wolf hasn’t really done his part for the plan. Usually when you have goalies making the jump from the WHL (or junior) to the AHL, they take some time to adjust to professional hockey and get settled in. Their results are usually mixed and they struggle with ups and downs as they become pro hockey players.
