One of the best radio shows to listen on the web is called the "The Pipeline Show" where they have a ton of 2010 Draft Prospects over the course of the season and are still interviewing players in the final weeks prior.
They are also going to interview more and more scouts, coaches and experts as they get their fantasy draft's ready to go just before the draft for the 1st Round as Taylor Hall & Tyler Seguin will be #1 & #2. After that, players like Cam Fowler, Emerson Etem, Brett Connoly, Calvin Pickard & Jack Campbell will know their fates in LA during the 1st round of the draft.
Right now on the Pipeline Show Blog called "Coming Down the Pipe" as Dean Millard & Guy Flaming take a look at all 30 NHL Teams in the order of the 1st Round Draft Order to take a look to see how their 1st round draft picks are doing, also take a look at recent draft picks to see who's done well, who's bombed and who needs more work. Both of the Show Co-Hosts' will also predict who each team will take in the 1st Round and why.
So far, they are through the LA Kings who will be picking at #19. Just a reminder, the Stars will pick at #11 this year to start the draft.

Others in the top 5 include Danish Defensemen Philipp Larsen and Alex Chiasson who's plays for Boston University after a solid career for the Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL).
3 of the biggest movers include Texas Native who moved up 5 spots from 16 to 11, Texas Stars Forward Perttu Lindgren who had a great year for the Texas as he's hoping to help bring the team the AHL Calder Cup Title.
