The Calgary Flames have officially announced that their starting goaltender Dustin Wolf has signed a seven-year contract extension with an AAV of $7.5 million, a considerable salary in the NHL. This situation raises the question of whether he now holds the spot as the league’s highest-paid goalie.
Wolf reached this contract after completing his rookie season, in which he posted a 29-16-8 record, with a .910 save percentage and a 2.64 goals-against average, making him a key piece for the team, in addition to being a Calder Trophy finalist.
Considering his limited professional experience, Wolf’s contract is a deal with few precedents in the league. The Flames took a major step forward in securing a key player with the potential to become an NHL star.
