Just a bit .

Is there any info on 2008 eligible players for leagues that don\'t have draft year restrictions?

No, but I would be more than happy to write up pieces about any draft for those who purchased a guide. I can give you the low-down on 2008, 2009 and 2010.

I bought the guide and I\'d love to hear your views on these drafts. Our keeper league allows you to draft a player or basically any age, so guys like Tavares, Stamkos, Steven Anthony, etc. are already off the board. Thanks Bugg!

Just say down and read it all. It was quite enjoyable and in some parts surprising!

Well worth the coin!

Great stuff....no predictions for Sergei Kostitsyn (aka Little ****) Being a Habs fan I\'m interested to see what he is capable of outputting at the NHL level.

Very informative and extensive...hats off to Dobber and Bugg for their research....I mean who really has time to keep track of the 7th round guys...usually all the attention is paid to the higher picks...excellent read.

Thanks again Dobbs,

Great read and a great resource for my pool\'s prospect draft.

One thing I noted on the last page however concerned me. The expected release date of you 2007-08 Pool Guide. Like last year we will get a preview long before the Hockey News, McKeens etc come out with thier guides (excellent!) but the final revision won\'t, apparently, come out until September 30th! This is a problem for me as our draft is held the last weekend of September (the 29th) and even if your final revision came out a day or so earlier, I wouldn\'t likely have much of a chance to make revisions to my list in time.

Any chance one could get an earlier release date (I know that you want the \"Final\" version as close to the start of the season as possible to you have it as accurate as possible - so this request is sort of working at cross-purposes)?

Alternatively, my experience last year was that while there were some revisions from your earlier predictions - the vast majority of your predictions held. Perhaps you could send out a weekly \"revisions\" sheet as you refine your predictions from your first draft to the final draft. (Or simply post one accessable only to those who\'ve paid for thier guides.) I recall that you would make some comments to this effect on your ramblings in any event but it was never collected in one place. I\'m sure that I\'m not the only one who may be drafting before your final draft comes out and is wanting to get your best predictions - even if they aren\'t your final predictions.

Thoughts?

Wow, I am in the exact same position and I too would love it if you could find the time/way to do this Dobbs. This would help me (and I\'m sure many others) out so much. I like the idea of (if you can\'t send out the final report sooner) doing weekly updates, or something along those lines. Anyway, thanks for the consideration Dobbs!
