2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wolf enters his first full NHL season with the weight of expectations on his young shoulders, but fantasy managers need to be patient with the two-time AHL goalie of the year and AHL MVP from 2022-23. The Flames are rebuilding and the defense will struggle in front of him. Wolf will do better than his 7-7-1, 3.15 GAA and .893 in limited action last season, but stardom won't come until after the Flames move into their new arena in 2027. Wolf's dynasty's value is high, but his single-year merits are average at best. He'll end up splitting time in a platoon with Dan Vladar, and he has a bad team in front of him. Read Past Outlooks

Wolf made 22 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Jets on preseason action on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
He was sharp, but couldn't hold back the Jets in the third when they broke a 2-2 tie and never looked back. The athletic netminder has little to prove in the AHL, but he will be tested by talented NHL lineups this season. Wolf is a two-time AHL top goalie (2022, 2023) and AHL MVP (2023), among a litany of awards over his young career. He's competing with Dan Vladar for the starter's role, but 27-year-old journeyman Logan Cooley has also impressed Flames brass. Wolf could end up in a three-headed goalie situation in the first few weeks of the regular season, but that shouldn't interfere with his fantasy value this season. The Flames could settle into a "hot hand" approach in net as the team rebuilds, and Wolf will be a sharp daily play.

25 days ago
RotoWire's Jon Litterine is back with his in-depth Top-100 NHL Prospect Rankings. This week, we look at No. 51-100 -- including Calgary netminder Dustin Wolf.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
He's been the AHL's top goalie two years in a row, and he was also the minor-league MVP in 2022-23, so Wolf doesn't seem far away from becoming a full-time NHLer. Opportunity is the only thing that's lacking -- Jacob Markstrom and Dan Vladar currently block him on the depth chart. Wolf's been a winner at every level he's played, and while he's undersized, that's not the same roadblock for goalies that it used to be. He's entering his age-22 season, and if he can get onto the Flames' roster at some point in 2023-24, he may be able to prove himself too good to send back down. Wolf just has to blow the walls down when he gets the chance.

Wolf has lost his last three games, giving up 10 goals on 77 shots. He is 3-6-1 with a 3.23 GAA and an .893 save percentage in 12 NHL appearances this season.
