NHL ENTRY DRAFT


June 21, 1997


Paul Mara


PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA

I just really had a general interview with them yesterday. There was really no inclination I was going to go there. I just went on a whim, I guess.

I really had no idea they were going to draft me. It is a great time in my life right now. They have a great organization down there. I am really proud to be a part of it.

Well, I am going to do everything possible. This summer I'm working hard and everything to break the lineup next year. But, if not next year, definitely the following one.

It is a great honor to be drafted in the top 10. I am really excited right now, as well as my family. So, it is really great honor to be drafted this high

To be in the first American draft it is a great honor. There are a lot of great players in this country and to have my name on top of that list is a privilege.

It is definitely one of the most exciting moments of my life right now. For the most part it is the highest, highest excitement that I have ever had.

Well, I am definitely excited to be drafted by Tampa Bay. They have a great organization. I am really not going to comment on wishing I got drafted from the Bruins because Tampa Bay has a great organization down there.

I am not sure about that. They are great friends and they have played together. What goes on between them, I try and stay out of.
