We're at game 10, not "mid-season", and the Flames have used two of their three remaining contracts on goalies. We just lost a lot of that "mid-season flexibility".

The Flames clearly did not have confidence that Taylor could step in and replace Irving if his game slipped. Mind you they didn't think Kiprusoff would be gone 2 weeks when they signed Taylor to an NHL contract.
