Something that had been a bit confounding – maybe a lot confounding – about the Calgary Flames is their utter refusal to even bother giving minor league goalie Dustin Wolf a shot at the NHL level. Wolf, the back-to-back goalie of the year in the AHL, had a .924 save percentage in the AHL so [...]

Jack Campbell being waved was a first step in Oilers management pushing the panic button. It sounds as though the plan is to look internally first, but I would imagine if that doesn’t work, then a trade for Cal Petersen, Jake Allen, Dan Vladar, Anton Forsberg, or Chris Dreidger could come to fruition very quickly.
