Irving is definately the big boy in Abbotsford but I don't think it's make or break time for him yet. He's only 22 and it'll depend on how Karlsson does with the big club. If Karlsson flops it'll put more pressure on Irving to become a serviceable back up goalie. If Karlsson plays well the pressure is off Irving and he can take a bit more time in his development. As it stands though I don't think Irving will ever be more than a decent back-up in the NHL. I hope I'm proven wrong though.
