Last year's FW was listed as a February 26th release date. As a digital subscriber, it looks like I got access on March 11. Brian Costello will usually leave some bread crumbs on his Twitter accounts when prospects start getting traded at the deadline.

Although I wish they would release this one a little earlier. Just a personal pet peeve when I finally get to read it and several prospects have already moved. It's far from perfect, but probably my favorite issue of the year.

I still remember the arguments over people who had it vs. it arriving at newsstands. That was what... 18 years ago here? :biglaugh:
 
I still like it. Because I believe they try to talk to some team contacts when making their top-10 lists per team. I don't care one bit about the overall whole-league rankings or top-100 or whatever. But sometimes it's interesting to see which players some teams seem to hold out some little nugget of extra hope for near the bottom of the team-by-team top-10's. :dunno:

I remember whoever was in charge of writing the Islanders blurbs back in the day said years later that the team omitted Kevin Poulin and Casey Cizikas from the top 10 list because they hadn't signed yet. So they didn't want to deal with a (very minor) PR hit if contract talks stalled and they re-entered the draft. But privately the Islanders definitely counted them among their top 10 prospects. After they signed they suddenly appeared the following year on the team submitted top 10; Poulin was unranked in 2010 to being #3 in 2011 after he signed.
