Hello from the NYR Boards. Life without hockey's been somewhat boring lately, as I'm sure you're all aware, so I decided to do something to pass the time. Namely, an All-Time draft. The rules of such a draft are as follows:

1. Every team gets a single pick, and the draft order follows the standings as of 3/20/2020 (the first day of the draft), which will be posted in a follow-up post in the thread below. So even if a team traded its 1st Round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, they still get a choice in this draft.
2. All retired/inactive NHL players are considered eligible for this draft (including guys playing overseas like Jagr). This also includes players like Tretiak who never had an NHL career but are hockey legends in their own right. All active NHL players, as well as players whose rights are owned by an NHL team, are ineligible
3. It is assumed that player abilities are "up-to-date" with the modern game, so a player like Eddie Shore who played in a far different NHL will not be at a disadvantage compared to say Wayne Gretzky or Jaromir Jagr
4. All players will be drafted into the organization at the age of 18, similar to the NHL Entry Draft
5. It is assumed that players will have a similar ceiling to during their playing career, and have the ability to reach said ceiling, although this is not guaranteed. Similarly, they are not guaranteed to suffer the same injury woes they did during their career (should that be relevant)
6. I'll give 2-3 days for votes to come in before the next team goes on the clock.
7. In the event of a tie, I will set up a tiebreaker poll
8. I won't set up a starting poll (if one is requested) until sufficient votes have been cast, so as not to prematurely restrict choices

Washington, you are now on the clock with the 27th pick in the 2020 NHL All-Time Draft!

I'll update this comment as each new vote comes in, but I can only count it if it's a single player vote (so not "Shore or Harvey" for example). If you're changing your vote later on, that's fine, just make a note of it.

Phil Esposito (2) - brachyrynchos, Rayquaza64
Stevens (2)- kicksavedave, Ridley Simon
Mikita (1)- AlexBrovechkin8
Morenz (1?)- Dr. John Carlson

Sorry, I'll go with Esposito as my choice.

How can we not take Ovechkin?

OH. Cannot take a current player. I see. I don’t get that. But OK.

Stevens

Essentially, my thought was to do a single round of this (hence the first line being "Every team gets a single pick"), and those players would be getting added directly into a team's organization/maybe roster. I may end up doing one more round, but the goal is not to outright replace all the players in an organization.

(with that said, it'd be a bit weird to see 2 Ovi's playing simultaneously, I think)
