I've done this again, just like past years, although a little later in the season this time.
Like other years, I include all players within a certain age range in an organization (eligible for 2012 or later), whether they play in the NHL or not. I find this is the only fair way to do it. It doesn't make sense to me to try to judge the future of teams by excluding players just because they play in the NHL.
I only have room for one line per player, so in general I use the stats from the league with the most games played.
Also, this time around, I've decided to forego alphabetical order and try something different. I've ordered them by draft position this time, to maybe make it easier to view stats by "tier" or "expectation". It won't always work out that way, but I thought it was interesting to try.
