Stevens: "We're putting another offer on the table for Taylor"

Joe Stevens at Mark Taylor contract negotiations

Bonny River, NB - Bonny River Ratz captain Joe Stevens says was "disappointed" about the way the team's offer was shut down recently. Stevens noted, "The Kovalchuk contract the Devils offered was similar as ours but since the FIHL is very close to the level of the NHL, everybody kinda freaked out. We had hoped to have Taylor locked up until the end of the 2028 season but we will now have to set our sights lower. I've heard Matty Walsh is just waiting to pounce and try to sign Taylor but it is my belief that he will sign with us, even though the term might not be what we wanted. For the record, I doubt an old guy like Walsh will even be around playing in the FIHL come 2028."
