The 2010 Draft isn't even in the books yet, but it's time to look ahead to 2011... and further. In short: if you're ruing missing out on Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin this year, don't sweat it; next year's edition is shaping up to be the one of the best all-time when it comes to the top five. And 2012 looks pretty good, too.

The 2010 DobberHockey Prospect Report is out now, and can be purchased here. What will you get with the guide? Glossy pictures of Taylor Hall? Nope. Tyler Seguin's favourite songs? Nada. How about upsides, projections, comparisons, and comphrensive scouting reports for every hockey prospect under the face of the sun? You bet.

I will never forget when Michael Leighton was pulled in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Watching him skate to the bench and walk down the runway was a moment of pure emotional openness. His demeanor and the agony in his eyes screamed helplessness. Even though his tense, hesitant play led to some weak goals, Leighton was yanked on a shot he had no chance of stopping. That single fleeting moment, well, it tells a very important story.
