‘“I think it’s a great hire,” said Rory Fitzpatrick, a teammate of Botterill’s with the Sabres and Amerks. “Obviously, from a player’s perspective he was a hard-working, respected team guy and very smart. From a management side, he’s put the time in and helped build one of best franchises in the NHL, so I think it’s a really good hire.”‘
