Bob Gainey Pre-Draft Press Conference

In a press conference today at 4:30 pm, Bob Gainey have clarified that only Mike Komisarek have received an offer on the table. He will discuss with the other UFAs after the draft. He also noted the possibility that some UFA won't be back next year without specifying who.

Concerning the draft, Bob Gainey said that he is 95% sure that he will be using his first round pick to select a prospect. The chances of a transaction during the draft tomorrow are pretty slim. Bob says that although they have an eye on local prospects, they will go for the best possible player in the first round.

Gainey also said that it is not a secret for anyone that they are looking for a big center, and right now, there isn't one on the free agent market.

When asked if the Vincent Lecavalier's case is completely closed, he answered that all options are still open. He also said that his relations with Lightnings GM Brian Lawton are good and they could work together.
