There are a few options out there for those who are interested:
Future Considerations just released their guide and I bought it. It is set up in a straight forward format; the first 30 prospects get a page each with it broken down into strengths, weaknesses, a scout's quote and NHL potential. Prospects 31 to 125 get half a page each, which is one paragraph. The final prospects get a short blurb each. There are 210 prospects in total. They also have a section on sleepers and a mock draft.
The guide sells at $20. I thought the guide was very good value for the money. It would be more interesting to me if they livened up the format a bit. Perhaps with season split stats and scoring the players on a selection of skills.
The Hockey News released theirs about a month back and obviously doesn't have the most up to date info. There information is not nearly as thorough, but if you are looking for a quick snap shot of the top 100 prospects it is not a bad way to go.
Costs $6 I think.
I have yet to purchase
Hockey Prospect's draft guide as it is not out yet. Their very detailed black book has been released and I will purchase it tonight and give it a read.
McKeen's will release their guide on the 3rd of this month.
Am I missing any others?
What are your impressions of the guides so far?
