It's like they've decided in the last few years that they can slack off. The 05 preview was for the Crosby draft, and it was the last one that was actually in a regular THN issue, so I wonder if they got lazy and figured "everyone only cares about Crosby, and they'll be so desperate to read anything that we can slack off".
This years and last years reek of "oooh, we'll throw a glossy magazine at them and they'll be so overjoyed that they won't notice that each prospct gets a tiny paragraph instead of an entire column."
There are lots of mistakes and stupid comments too. I mean, just looking at the future watch and other prospect rankings you can get a sense of what a team has and needs, then their team analyses go out and say that Team X needs a player type that they have in spades.
I wish they'd go back to the future watch of a few years ago. Having whole columns down the page for each prospect was nice, and the team reports actually felt like someone took the time to think about the info.
