Understandable that Taran might want a starting no1 goalie position whether here or in Europe. He deserves it, he has played very well this season.
Will be disappointed to see Taran go, if true. The dilemma the Devils have is that Bowns is British - when he plays, it allows the team to play another import outskater. If Taran plays, IIRC they would have to rest another import and replace with an extra Brit.....which we haven't got.
It is a very patient import goalie (especially when he deserves more games) who can accept being rested when a British goalie is played.
To put our team in a position to win something next season, our Team are either going to need a clear No1 game-changing import goalie.....or Bownsey is going to have to play (like he can) at his very best every game, supported by an excellent defence.
