Kevin Woodley wrote a really interesting article on Wolf and how his game has developed, I suggest you give it a read here:

What really caught my eye was the quote that Saros gave on Wolf, who he has been following since the 2018 Ivan Hlinka Gretzky Cup apperently.
"Obviously there's not many of us," said Saros, who at 5-foot-11 is the smallest goalie in the NHL this season. "But I don't really pay much attention to the size. I pay attention to how goalies play. There's a lot of saves you notice how he controls his body and how fast he changes direction, so all those little things as a goalie you really appreciate when you see that. His technical, his skating and all those little details are, I feel, better than anybody in the League, so that's what I feel all goalies can look up too."
That's some pretty darn high praise from a guy most people see as an annual Vezina candidate.
