Even if I agreed with you about this, then it would be a good thing that the Flames are not sacrificing a valuable roster spot at the expense of one or two prospect's development. Danny Taylor is not a Flames prospect. He is a journeyman AHL goalie who was signed to an AHL contract with the Abbotsford Heat, and was in the right place at the right time to receive a short-term deal in an emergency platoon situation for the Flames.

Except this wasn't a "Flames ownership move". This was a decision made by Flames management, and I reckon that it was almost certainly not made in consultation with the owners.
