I plan on buying a draft guide, but I don't know which one to get. What would you guys suggest?

Flames Draft Watcher said:I recommend the Redline Draft Guide. I've gotten it the past 3 or 4 years and find it to be very comprehensive (profiles of the top 100+, ranks the fastest guys, best snipers, best character guys, etc.) Certainly have never regretted the purchase.

I believe what they are talking about is the standard Hockey News Issue that covers the draft. Just go to where finer hockey publications are sold....TRS said:Where in Canada would you be able to pick up a copy of that? That's pretty affordable for a high school student

Mizral said:I buy the THN Draft Review every year. Best issue of the year. Let me tell you, THN's draft preview and this website (and maybe a couple other websites) is all you need. Red Line Report is nice too.

$40 seems to be expensive.Those red pages are tough on the eyes.
It's such a thin publication(40 pages?)
The NFL draft previews(Mel Kiper,Ourlads,Pro Football Weekly)are these thick books for the same price
The THN was better when Bob McKenzie would write the previews.Still it's a good publication.I get mine in the mail.It used to come out before Memorial Day and now it comes out after Memorial Day.I have all the THN draft previews since 1986 when it was not part of the subscription
For the love of god, I don't know why they insist on publishing it on those red pages. It could still be consistent with "red line" and protect the brand but actually be easy to read. Hopefully that's a change that will take place this year.RangerBoy said:I have purchased the RLR

I thought the Red Line report was good until almost every pick I made for my fantasy hockey pool the year I got it turned into a colossal failure. Stick to the Hockey News. There is a reason Kyle Woodlief is no longer employed by an NHL team.
With complete honesty, i can say the Hockey's Future production last year was the best I have seen and read in years. You have to go back a good number of years with the Hockey news to find a comparable production.
