He was 5’11 heading into his draft year which really is on the verge of being an NHL goalie height, while playing for the silvertips who are famous for making goalies look good. There were plenty of reasons to doubt him until he just kept proving all of his talents were elite enough to make those doubts foolish.
It’s not like Calgary saw something other teams didn’t, he was still the 4th last player taken in the draft. It was a legitimate concern, his backup actually had a better GAA (1.62) and a better save percentage (.942) in 13 games. Scouts had a good reason to be suspect of how transferable Wolf’s game was, him winning 4 GOTY awards his next 4 seasons just showed that to be foolhardy.
