McKeen's is the magazine you want to buy.

Dobber. I do my own list from scratch every year and then after coming up with my own numbers I compare them against his numbers. I ranked 520 players this year and 87.3% of what I ranked was within 10 points or less of what he had. The only major gaps come in where we disagree on certain guys actually playing, two examples this year would be Stefan Elliott in Colorado or Craig Smith in Nashville.
Dobber is the only one I know of who updates his Guide throughout training camp with injury updates, players who made the team unexpectedly, and point adjustments based on other mitigating factors. It's an online download, you can't get that out of a magazine you buy in the store.

I looked at my Mckeens from last year and they were pretty far off on a lot of projections. It's great for depth charts and analysis though.

I like The Sports Forcaster.
McKeens is good for scouting reports, but doesn't have a good track record for predictions. The Hockey News isn't good for anything.

Has anyone seen McKeen's around? Every 7-11 i've been too doesn't seem to have it. As for dobber, is the $10 guide worth it, or do you just go off the top 300 ranked players he posts on the site for free?

Here are a few free ones. Personally, I created a spreadsheet using analytics based off these rankings, last years stats, and some personal thoughts.

Does anyone have a list of rookies who have made it out of camp and are expected to play in the NHL for most of the season?

If you don't have to pick rookies then completely avoid them.
Short of Crosby and Ovie no rookies as of late have produced up to the point totals poolies think they will.

McKeens and Sports Forecaster are the mags I look at, but careful because chances are a lot of people in your pool are doing the same.
I've won our main hockey pool 5 out of the last 8 years and it all comes down to finding those mid level players that are gaining big points this year. I know it seems simple, but it isn't, especially not when 10 or 11 other guys are also gunning for that same guy.
McKeens and Forecaster are both great for pointing out possible break outs, usually about 50% of who they suggest will have a career year actually does. Pretty good odds considering the number of players they list.

Adam Larsson at NJ.
Gabriel Landeskog at Colorado
Ryan Nugent Hopkins at Edmonton
Brandon Saad at Chicago
I think they all made it.
