Was just browsing the internet to see if I could open every webpage out there and came across this...http://www.hockeysfuture.com/beyondtommorow.php
Has some cool little scouting reports from players years ago that are now breaking into the NHL. Crosby, AO, Zherdev, Horton and guys like Bernier, Michalek and Nilsson.
Lot of guys I do recognize...and others I don't...Patrick Koslow? Jiri Drtina?
Interesting report on Mark Stuart, saying he would probably opt to be in the 2003 draft and he did...and while he was a top 20 pick like they predicted you can't get much closer as he was #21 .
I just think its pretty neat to see how people thought about these guys when there were still fairly young (Crosby = 14 in the article?) and the views they had...like
and he ended up falling to 11? Will still be solid though..
Just crazy...
Anyway, just thought I'd post it if anyone wanted outdated but interesting insight into some prospects

Compared by many to Teemu Selanne, Tukonen is one of the front runners for the top position in the 2004 NHL Draft.

He also adds, "(Ovechkin) likely will adapt better than any of the others. Talent-wise, he is in the top 5 in the world... so far. He can score at will. He also has size, and could grow to 6'4" before he is drafted. Just a great combination of a player. I guess he is a more rounded and filled out version of Joe Thornton. (Ovechkin) will get lots of attention and could go first or second overall."
