The price is indeed pretty nice but i have to say in respect to professionnal and what seems to be a very independant ranking, my personnal best is hockeyprospect. I just respect their opinion’s a lot and they have good individual player write ups with nhl scouts quotes on each of them.None out yet. But EliteProspects is without a doubt the best. The fact that it comes with the monthly subscription (something like $10) as opposed to costing $60 or something at HockeyProspect makes it even better. But even at that price point I’d consider EP the best.

Are you sure you’re talking about the right guide? EP’s was 1,200 pages long or something like that. 200 of them may have included images but the remaining 1,000 were text pages. Including player summaries and individual game reports.I pay for their website but hate their draft guide. All images, no text. Waste.

A lot goes into the NHL Draft Black Book from Hockey Prospects and to me it's one of the best resources out there. It was my first time buying it last year to prepare for the Sens draft and was really impressed with the detailed analysis of the players. You can get it off Amazon too.

Finally subbed to hockeyprospect.com.
Underwhelmed.
I love the blackbook.
But the web content isn't doesn't meet that standard.
Also, their search function is fubarred.
Is it always like this? Or is it just because it's a COVID year?
I only purchase DraftinEurope guide best one on this side of the pond. Propably out just before draft.
Is the Black book worth picking up now? Or is it better to wait til closer to the draft?
A pre-order could save you some money. I pre-ordered mine a while back but its not out yet. Their current version (they update them) of the pdf only has Beniers and Edvinsson.Is the Black book worth picking up now? Or is it better to wait til closer to the draft?
I’d love to see their 2022 and 2023 lists but don’t want to buy it only for that. Is there much information on 2023 or just a list?I took a chance on the Draftpro guide - I figured I could throw them 20 bucks just for putting up the free draft simulator. It's... ok. I don't feel like I didn't get my money's worth, but after their top 32 picks you get less and less info. Top 32 picks each have a full page. After that it's 2 players per page, then 3, then 4. Not as detailed as Black Book but also half the price.

I usually buy 3 guides, which is already way more than I can read and probably way more than I should afford haha. Definitely going Eliteprospects, probably Future Considerations and maaaaybe Black Book.
