We believe that a significant majority of them will stay open as Boston Markets. But some will close and some will be converted to McDonald's and to a couple of other brands,

We had a great car at South Boston, but we couldn't close the deal there. We really worked on this car 110% before we came here. Randy Humphrey and Robert Huffman have provided me with a great opportunity here. They believe in me, and I believe in them. This was great run for us.

The chairman is happy, and I am happy. I am 110 percent sure I will sign for Boston United.

If Boston and Oakland start competing to draft players no one else wants, each will get half. As long as the A's keep churning out talent from the draft and the farm system, they'll be fine.

If J&J is not willing to up their bid, I think Guidant will be going to Boston Scientific.

I'd rather be in Boston for sure. It's the NHL, and everybody wants to be in the NHL. That will be my goal. This is my third year playing in North America and I still have a lot to learn. I feel confident about myself. I think I was able to play at the AHL level really good and I think I got better throughout the last year. I think I'm ready for the big stuff.
