Thanks, Scott. Appreciate the kinds words. I think there are a lot of great services out there. Best time in hockey history to be a draft fan IMO. Fans never had this kind of access before. Even the young kids making the youtube videos play a part in this as well.

Just purchased my copy. Always great to have this insight draft weekend.

Good stuff, Steve. Great resource for a small price.

My only feedback would be to include player stats, but only a minor quibble.

Thanks for the feedback. Next year's edition will most definitely include stats. Only reason why I didn't include them was I felt traditional stats can skew opinions and wanted the detail in the scouting reports to paint a clearer picture. Of course, I mentioned stats in a lot of the scouting reports, but I realized that people still want to see them for each player regardless.

Idealism is dead in 2019, lol.

This will make for a nice read as I prepare for Friday and Saturday.

Followed the link but somehow ended up downloading the 2017 draft guide instead.

Just purchased it. A lot of information here, especially for the price. Nice job! I like some of the extra information such as showing where each player was ranked at different points in the season which helps get a quick read on how the player has been trending. Nice touch.

I do feel that some of the rankings seem to be a little "behind" where the player has been trending, such as notable guys now slated for the first round in recent weeks/months that are still outside the top 40 or 50 here. But, rankings are subjective and the consensus is not always right.

Good job, would purchase again!

Will def get this. Sounds like a great resource to have for a pretty reasonable price.

The link should lead you the main page with the PayPal button. Also, there is a banner on my home page that links to that page. Let me know if the issue persists.

Thank you for you support. I tend to avoid recency bias unless it's a kid I never watched until the late part of the season. Only way a kid will shoot up my rankings is if things I previously overlooked during the first half were discovered and validated over lengthy film sessions in the late Spring, and that's never the case for the top-tier prospects. Sometimes a kid will have two bad games when I watch him and it sets the tone, then I re-engage and discover I may have been wrong.

I try to stick to my guns and my full-season assessments. and not get influenced by the media or popular opinion, which is usually the case for late-season risers into the top portion of the first round.

My biggest shifts usually are in the pre-WJC rankings (AUG-DEC period). My mind is pretty made up by March and I never factor in the combine.

 

[Cush]

Great report, but you listed Evgeny Kuznetsov as "Vladimir " Kuznetsov in the Caps section

 

[nyrage]

Got mine, thanks. Looks good. Yup, the stats would have helped a bit, but worth the price for sure.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Was also wondering, why didn't you put "center needs" for the Montreal Canadiens ? it's our biggest issue.

They drafted Ikonen, Poehling and Bitten with recent high picks, plus had Galchenyuk. Trading Sergachev; Pacioretty's uncertain future plus not drafting wingers with high picks makes defensemen and goal scorers more pressing.

Thanks, just bought one. Should help this night shift go by a little quicker.

Damn. Sorry about that. Ahhh the perils of mixing NHL and Draft talk, oh and not editing as thoroughly as I should have lol.
