NHL ENTRY DRAFT


June 27, 1998


Christian Backman


BUFFALO, NEW YORK

Q. Did you have any idea -- (inaudible)

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: Yeah, a little bit. I know they were interested in me.

Q. What do you know about the team?

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: I know they had a great season this year.

Q. (inaudible)

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: Yeah, I have done that sometimes before and I think the game is faster and it is more physical play and you have to be tougher.

Q. (inaudible)

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: It is more things going on all the time. You get more chances to score goals. I like it.

Q. (inaudible)

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: I am offensive/defenseman, like to carry the puck a lot and I am a good powerplay player, with a good hockey sense, read the play.

Q. (inaudible)

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: Nicholas Lidstrom is my favorite player.

Q. What do you think of the chances of playing --

CHRISTIAN BACKMAN: When I make the NHL, hopefully in some years, I hope he will still be there and that will be a great opportunity for me. I think I need some more years back in Sweden first to improve my physical play and maybe three to five years I will be ready.
