Contract Term: a one year, two-way contract for $525,000/$80,000.
This is either a "just in case" situation, or it's a "Holy ****, Kipper's out for a while" scenario
I hope for the former.
Why the sigh? Isn't it something they had to do with Kipper down for a few days?
Was more sighing at the fact that Kip is out for a few days.
Interesting. I wonder why Taylor > Brust?
Anyone with any idea?

Good to see that sanity prevails and the Flames don't waste assets bringing in a another goaltender.

Taylor seems to play a more conventional style of goaltending.
Burst is aggressive, and I remember some other thread where people questioned his style in the NHL.
Could be as simple as that. Hopefully he does well if he sees any ice time.
Going with the hot AHL goalie? Although judging by the numbers alone it's a real toss up. I wonder if Ward tossed a coin when Feaster asked his opinion.
Kind of like the Karlsson, Irving dilema?
That was just flat out bad management. Letting 29 GMs make your backup decision for you is just plain nuts.
And so is only having 2 goalies signed to NHL contracts.
Im a feaster fan but that was just bizarre, there had to be more to this

Danny has earned this. He has been lights out since he signed in Abbotsford.Interesting. I wonder why Taylor > Brust?

Abbotsford to Columbus would be a prohibitively long trip, even for a gate-opener job.Danny has earned this. He has been lights out since he signed in Abbotsford.
59 Games with the Heat. 30-19-4 record, 2.02GAA, .928SV%, 7SO
Brust is also a lot more scrambley in his crease and is more prone to take stupid penalties. I love what Brust has done for us this year but Danny without a doubt has earned this.
I am wondering what this means for Abbotsford tonight, they play against Rochester again with Brust starting, but who will they get in time to be the backup? Or will Danny stay until after the game tonight? Seems like a late night for him if that happens.
