NHL ENTRY DRAFT

June 21, 2003

Brent Seabrook

BRENT SEABROOK: Not at all. Chicago did talk to me about three times and it was really, I don't know, I didn't really know what to expect. I guess Chicago sort of given me an opportunity to play and show my stuff.

BRENT SEABROOK: My first pass out of the zone and use my physical play. I feel like I use my shot effectively and I get to the net and create some offensive chances with my shot.

BRENT SEABROOK: Definitely a strong part. Got to be more consistent with it, obviously, but I definitely like that part of the game.

BRENT SEABROOK: I don't know. I am very vocal. I like to lead by example, and I just -- I like to, I guess, I don't know, I just like to be the leader and like that role, and I think I take it very well.

BRENT SEABROOK: I think I'd like to play next year. Obviously I don't -- I don't know what is going to happen and in what their plans are for me but I'd like to -- definitely feel like I can jump in next year.

BRENT SEABROOK: Yes.

BRENT SEABROOK: I had a tough first half and with everything, broke my hand early, it was a tough first half and definitely got it under control and took a few deep breaths and got it under control for the second half.

BRENT SEABROOK: I thought they were interested. They just interviewed me three times, so I had a little sense. You never with these things. You never know who is going to pick you, I guess.

BRENT SEABROOK: It is a great feeling. Sitting up there twiddling my thumbs; my palms were sweating and just a great feeling to have my name called and hearing the name, it was awesome.

BRENT SEABROOK: Original Six team, right? That's awesome, lots of history behind that. It is a great feeling.

BRENT SEABROOK: Awesome. It is a great feeling, and savor it for a couple of weeks here. I know work is ahead of me and this just the first step, so got to keep going.
