The Calgary Flames are poised to secure a long-term contract for goaltender Dustin Wolf, who has emerged as a cornerstone of the franchise. After an impressive rookie season that saw him as a Calder Trophy finalist, Wolf's value to the team is evident. His maturity and accountability have earned him respect among teammates and management alike.

GM Craig Conroy is keen to lock him up before he becomes a restricted free agent. Given Wolf's proven track record, including overcoming the odds as a seventh-round draft pick, the Flames view him as essential for their future success.
