Today’s post is another cool idea from a reader. Take it away, Neil:

Do the “Ultimate Draft” next.

Best ever 1st overall. Best ever 2nd overall, etc.

Have to use all 31 teams (sorry, Seattle!)

Love it. The Ultimate First Round. Let’s do this. But first, a few ground rules:

  • As Neil says, we’re going to put together one round, lasting 31 picks, from all of NHL Draft history. Every player we take has to have been drafted in that exact slot, and we have to use one pick from all 31 existing teams.
