If Irving hasn't looked good in practice or in camp then fine. But I haven't heard that. If Taylor is in because Taylor is Ward's guy then the Flames management needs to step in.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that Irving deserves starts just because he has an NHL contract. But based on what I heard about camp it doesn't sound like Taylor won the position. Ward's comments such as 'Taylor is leaving where he left off' further confirm that.
