Don't worry, it sounds like HFBoards will continue...although I guess this is somewhat concerning news.

I just came across this on Twitter. I had no idea so figured others likely didn't know either.

The only thing i like about HockeysFuture is the position-by-position depth-charts for all-teams, so you can quickly glance at each teams prospect pool. Otherwise, the rankings and articles are useless. Just wondering if the site is going to be defunct, or if it will just become un-updated. If they're simply going to let it become obsolete, I wish they'd allow wiki-like edits by the people, for the people.
