You are too kind. My little write-ups are just miniature compendiums of things other people have written, mixed with things I see in clips, and games I've watched-doesn't mean it's necessarily gospel,lol. I usually watch a ton of junior hockey (not much this year), and I catch what I can of tournaments,etc. Most of the number comparisons are mine. This is just what I do in my spare time every year, and people I know depend on me to know what I'm talking about, lol. I've helped do training camp evaluations at the Junior B level, as my opinion is trusted-nobody would ever come to me for life advice! Lol. Thanks to anyone who reads my stuff, it gives me an outlet for my little "hobby", and of course I welcome any debates, comments, and criticisms.
I usually just go player to player and find whatever I can digest on them, be it clips, mocks, and whatever else. I always buy the Hockey News Draft Preview, but I find myself questioning their judgement these days. The FC Hockey Draft Guide is the one to get-they have good judgement, and are very comprehensive-you can find write-ups about players that don't any attention from the media. Once again, Thank you so so much!
