Taylor, Botterill 'close' to staying

[Don Cherry]

July 1, 2003) — Chris Taylor and Jason Botterill could very well be members of the Rochester Americans again.

While no contracts have been signed, negotiations went well on Monday and Amerks general manager Jody Gage said both deals were “very close” to being done.

Taylor led the Amerks in scoring with 12 goals, 55 assists and 67 points in 61 games. He was voted the team’s MVP for the second straight year. Botterill scored 37 goals, second-most in the American Hockey League. He very likely would have won the AHL’s goal-scoring title had he not been recalled in March by the parent Buffalo Sabres.

I would rather watch these 2 guys than Brown, Dumont, and Timmy. Taylor has never really gotten a fair chance.

Timmy isnt in the Picture till game 3
and we all know what ruff is gonna do after Game 2.

Scratch someone and give Timmy super Star minutes.

Timmy boy had more Timeo n Ice than Paul Kariya for crying out loud.

Botterill has the skills to make it in the NHL, but Taylor already had a chance, and he sucked it up.
