11th year veteran left wing David Wolf(89) spent only one season (2014/2015) in North America under contract with Calgary Flames.
He led affiliate Adirondack Flames in goals (20), penalty minutes (168) and fighting majors (10) but was only recalled for three NHL games recording no points.
The good-sized forward is a 4-time 30+ point skater in his home country’s top league, DEL just like he did in one AHL stint with 38.
He re-signed with the team he left, Hamburg Freezers when he returned but switched allegiances last season joining Adler Mannheim.
At 27-years old he extended his term for 7 years with the German club and will very likely continue producing big, but more importantly is likely eyeing another title like the one he was on in 2010 with Hannover Scorpions.
David Wolf(45) Calgary Flames
Calgary Flames‘ undrafted rookie left wing, the German-born David Wolf(45) already had 7 years of pro experience playing for teams in his home country, including 5 in the top league DEL, before signing his one-year deal.
He was reassigned to Adirondack Flames to start his first season in North America.
In 35 AHL games he’s posted 12 goals and 9 assists with a +8 rating and 4 fighting majors.
He’s tied for the team lead in scoring, 3rd overall in points and second for time in the sin bin.
The big 6’3″ 215 lbs. power forward never shies away from the rough stuff and was the most penalized player in 2011/2012.
His all around solid style and ability to connect with the score sheet earned him a recall from the parent club.
In his NHL debut he skated 16 even strength shifts for 7:27 of total ice time, was 50% on the face off dot, had 1 shot on net, 2 hits and one takeaway in a 4-2 come from behind victory.
The 25-year is getting a bit of a late start but may be at the right point of game maturation to stick.
