Well you started off with this statement.

He hasn't been the starter on the farm for 3 seasons, and he's been waived repeatedly and signed only one year at time. If they had any faith in him, they'd of given him 2 or 3 seasons to settle in and play his role.

It was wrong than and it's wrong now. He's been mostly the starter for the last 3 seasons, not continually but he has been the starter most of the time.
The waiver question, you are completely wrong on so you're whole argument isn't worth discussing. As for my tone, you can crap all over a player with the wrong facts but you don't like being corrected. I get it, you're spoiled little boy.
The other factor with comparing Irving with Taylor is that Irving had proven to some extent he can play in the NHL, Taylor hasn't. There have been lots of hot shot minor league goalies who crap the bed when given an NHL chance. I'm not saying Taylor is among those but he hasn't proven anything yet while Irving has. I also heard Taylor wasn't ready for NHL shooters in his Flames practise, so that's another consideration, maybe why we did this claim.
