The deal is a two-way deal in 2024-25 worth $850,000 at the NHL level and $275,000 at the AHL level, with $375,000 guaranteed. Coincidentally, the 2024-25 campaign is the last year of Wolf&#8217;s waiver exemption. In 2025-26, it&#8217;s a one-way deal worth $850,000.
Wolf, 23, was the Flames&#8217; seventh-round pick in 2019. In the five seasons since being drafted, he&#8217;s been a very good ice hockey goaltender. He was the Western Hockey League&#8217;s top goaltender in 2019-20 and 2020-21, and then the American Hockey League&#8217;s top goaltender in 2021-22 and 2022-23. He was also the AHL&#8217;s most valuable player in 2022-23. He wasn&#8217;t named the AHL&#8217;s top goaltender in 2023-24 because he spent a third of the season in the NHL, filling in for injuries to Jacob Markstrom and Dan Vladar.
Here&#8217;s what we know about Wolf as a pro:
<ul>
<li>He&#8217;s a phenomenal AHL goaltender; he&#8217;s gone 97-32-10 with 11 shutouts, a 2.29 goals against average and .926 save percentage over 141 appearances.</li>
<li>He&#8217;s a decent NHL goaltender under a really limited sample size; he&#8217;s 8-7-1 with an 3.03 goals against average and .896 save percentage over 18 appearances.</li>
</ul>
With Markstrom&#8217;s departure to New Jersey, many are speculating that it&#8217;s Wolf Season. He&#8217;s not guaranteed an NHL spot, but between his contractual situation and performance to this point, he&#8217;s going to be given every chance to play a ton with the Flames going forward.
With Wolf&#8217;s signing, the Flames have five remaining restricted free agents: blueliners Ilya Solovyov and Yan Kuznetsov, and forwards Jakob Pelletier, Cole Schwindt and Adam Klapka.
