I took the top 256 forwards and D-men (by Hockey Reference's point shares the last 3 seasons combined) and spread them out evenly to 16 groups of 16 players each, with 4 from each group advancing from the group stage. Through a series of polls HF identified a top group of 64 that was then entered into a March Madness-style tournament. Seeding was determined by the % of people that voted for each player in the group stage.
