Taylor is so well regarded around the league and by the Flames that he had all of zero contract offers at the start of the season. His play was so good that it wasn't until an injury forced the Flames into an emergency situation where they needed a warm body to sit on the bench. The Flames thought so much of him that they grabbed a replacement as soon as possible and sent Taylor back down to avoid playing him.
It seems odd that so many people want to praise the management while at the same time are clamoring for a guy that they (and every other NHL team) has determined has no spot in the NHL and no upside in the future as well.
I am not sure whether it was his play in the practice but there is obviously something with Taylor that shows people that he can't play in the NHL.
