They could both look good and teams could get interested and we could end up getting a pick for one of them. There wont be room for both of them next yr and i'd rather get something rather than nothing so showcasing both these guys makes sense to me personally.
I am not really hell bent on play offs this year. If they can give a couple guys a chance to see what we have in the system its not a big loss since its a short season and a good draft year any way. I wouldn't mind shopping Kipper when he gets back and letting these guys ride out what ever is left of season, then trading off which ever is worse between the two. We could turn two goalies into a few picks and maybe a prospect. Then have Ramo and who ever survives between Irving and Taylor for next year. There is a market for Kipper as well and if we ask for less then Gillis wants for Lou than I am sure there is quite a few suitors.

Taylor getting a couple of games is not going to increase his trade value. He could have been signed by anybody in the last 2 years.
Why do people think Taylor is in the flames long term plans? He signed a two way contract out of emergency. Without the injury to Kipper they would never had thought of bringing him up.
