So him being able to keep the puck away from forwards stems from his speed and stick-work, unlike a guy like, say Breen, who can keep a forward off the puck using his size and physicality.

2) No, Taylor is on a SPC (Special Players' Contract). From what I understand, a SPC contract is a full-year contract strictly for the AHL, whereas a PTO or an ATO are temporary AHL contracts.

EDIT - Way too slow.
PTOs and ATOs have 10-game maximums, I believe, but can get renewed.
SPC (Standard Player Contract) are for the full year.
