Where do you guys go for info? What magazines are you using for your draft?
I found a couple of places with draft info that are kind of helpful in determining consensus picks.

I used to just pick up whatever pool magazines I found in the store.
Though I haven't really bothered to get one the past years. I just wing it.
Though it kind of depends on the type of league.
If you're in a really deep draft, then getting a pool magazine is going to help you know more about those bottom end players.
Where as in a strong draft(with few players) you might not need anything at all. For instance in my work pool my worst player is Mike Modano. so obviously I don't need to be reading a whole lot.
After a few years of doing fantasy hockey you just kind of gain a natural instinct on some of the players. It's served me well over the years. ;)
