Draft legends. Let the record prove it.

A daily board shared by everyone that day, a free run that deals new eras each time, a blind draft with the numbers hidden, and a salary-cap version where the budget does the arguing for you.

From the Original Six years through the expansion decades to the current league. Every card is one real season with the goals, assists or goaltending line it actually posted.

By the scoring environment he played in. The 1980s produced numbers the dead-puck years made impossible, so a 50-goal season is read against what 50 goals meant that year rather than against an all-time list that would let one decade dominate the whole board.

You do, and the seat cannot be filled with a forward you like. A goalie is scored on wins, save percentage and shutouts, so the position either holds up over a long season or quietly ends your run in the spring.

One shared roster per calendar day, dealt the same to everyone. Finish it, watch the season play out, and your record joins that day's table.

The pool is built on NHL seasons, because that is where the record is complete and comparable. A player's time elsewhere is part of his story but not part of the numbers this board scores.

All 47 franchises on the board, each split into real eras. The Original Six years and the post-expansion decades are separate spins even for the same city, because the rosters genuinely were.

Yes. A finished roster can pair a 1970s scorer with a modern goaltender, because every seat is filled from the era the reel landed on rather than from one season.

Spread across the positions rather than loading one. Goaltending matters disproportionately to a simulated season, and a roster of forwards with nothing behind them tends to concede whatever it scores.

No. The archive opens in 1917 and the Original Six era concentrates enormous history into very few rosters, so knowing those decades is worth as much as knowing the current league.

NHL All-Star Team, Vezina Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy among others. Hockey's trophies are unusually specific — best goaltender, best rookie, most valuable — so a card can say exactly what a player was.

The record starts in 1917, when six clubs were the whole league, and 444 figures hold Hall-of-Fame membership — a lot against how few roster places existed for most of it.
