Keith, I was at the Draft Party as well and I was surprised by the boos
also. I talked to a guy next to me who had been booing and he said he was
booing  because all he knew about Lundmark was that he wasn't big enough
yet and because Savard had such a good year last year. I think a lot of
people didn't really know much about Lundmark. A lot of people also don't
think we'll be able to coax Hlavac to North America.
