NHL ENTRY DRAFT

July 8, 1995

Daymond Langkow

I feel pretty good. I played three years in Tri-city and the weather is pretty nice there. So obviously and Florida is quite a bit warmer over the winter, so, I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, I think it's pretty hard to explain. It is a feeling like I never felt before just great. Excitement. So it is one step in my life.

No. You know, I'm happy with where I'm going and I think I have a good opportunity to play and that's really all I can ask for.

Yeah. That's my goal. You know, I'm going to set that goal to make the team and, you know, get a good program from them, Lightening and work hard this summer and hope for the best.

I don't know. He coached me for a year and a half so he has a pretty good idea of my style of play. So, I mean I wouldn't really know; I don't have a very good idea what is it's like. I've never been to training camp so I'm just going to go there and get a feel for it.

Definitely. It was great. It was really nice to have my close family here and I have a lot of friends I grew up with here and stuff so it was exciting for them and it was exciting for me.

I think I'm just going to go there and do what they ask. You know, I'm just going to contribute in whatever every way I can. And if that means scoring goals, that's great. If it means being a play marker, that's great to. So, you know I have a long summer ahead and a lot of hard work.

I didn't really have a feeling coming into the draft of one team more over another so I think, you know, after the first three picks, I thought I might may be four or five and was fifth. So, I'm just he astatic about it.

I feel pretty good about that. I haven't actually been down to Florida yet. I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I'm looking forward to getting down there.

A little bit. I don't know you know sitting there I kind of I was, you know, just I guess, you know, I just wanted to get drafted but, you know, I didn't really have a very good idea of who was really going to take me.
