The_People1 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Looks like his glove crossed the red line with the puck in there. Just saying. Great effort though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh results. Gillies had better numbers in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irocke99 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 The Scouts say Wolf doesn't have pro type size. Well, someone else was 6' and165 pounds and his name was Patrick Roy. To lead the WHL last year as a 17 year old is impressive as heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 This kid is a terrific prospect. I said it in June and I'll say it again, I'd have been thrilled of the Flames took him in the 3rd round, 7th round looks like it could be the steal of the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjgallow Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Dustin Wolf really does look good so far. I would like to see him take thing up one level although I realize it's hard to do that when he's already the best in his league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too young to play in the AHL next season. Too bad there wasn't another option for him. Maybe play in the Swiss league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally feel that smaller goalies are not given a fair chance due to a recent perception about them. He'd a US citizen....not sure if that opens up any possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with him being the WHL this year, he still has a Lot to prove in the playoffs and i still think there's room to step it up a bit. But assuming he does prove what we want him to in the playoffs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that would be good, other than him getting the chance to work with our goalie coach. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarasti Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I really like this kid and I sincerely believe that the size will not be much of an issue. With the smaller equipment on goalies these days it's more about athleticism and vision than just being a big shot-blocker. Juuse Saros is a good young goalie and I think he's only 5'11" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few adjustments to the rules and smaller goalies could be back in the game. You never know when it'll happen. But if it does, he's be premiere. And if it doesn't he's still got a real chance.

MAF is only 2 inches taller and maybe 20 pounds heavier, and that is as a 30 year old. Saros is 5'11". With talent, I don't think there is anything stopping a "smaller" goalie from playing well.

I'll add to that, if the rules were made to be just a Bit more fair, Saros would probably be one of the top 3-5 goalies in the NHL. as an example.

Thebrewcrew Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 What a calendar year it's been for Dustin Wolf, holy moly. If there's hardware for a junior goalie he won it this year. Once again, what a steal. For two consecutive seasons, he has been hands down the best goalie in the WHL... I fully acknowledge how solid Everett plays defensively, but he isn't putting these numbers up as an overage. For a goalie to put up those kind of numbers as a 17 and 18 year old is unfathomable. He's gonna make a lot of scouts league wide have to answer some tough questions... Without a doubt he has emerged as one of the best goaltending prospects in the world. I'd say Sorokin is tops, but he's much older and has more pro experience, second could be Askarov once he's drafted, but third could easily be Wolf. Not bad for the 214th pick... What's even crazier, is Carter Hart had a ton of fan-fare when he turned pro. He had a very good WHL career. His last season was unreal, .947 and 1.60, but that was in his 4th WHL season. Through 3 years Wolf has been the superior Jr goalie to Hart, which again is crazy. I'm not saying Wolf will be in the NHL after only 18 AHL games, but I think he has a real shot at being something special. This is a very exciting prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he doesn't drop off the way Gilles and Ortio have in the past (and maybe Parsons as well). I don't see it though. With a bit of luck, we'll see Wolf as our starter in 3-4 seasons, and for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
