Based on the one I did yesterday with a few additional things:

1) Pick a draft year.
2) Using a random number generator, pick a number inclusive of the first pick and last pick in each round. For example, if you were using the 2014 draft and were picking in the 6th round, you'd select a number between 151 and 180. If you were using the 2017 draft and picking the third round, you'd select a number between 63 and 93.
3) See what player was drafted at that selected number. If the number that you picked from the 2014 draft was 173, that would be Jaden Lindo. If the number for the 2017 draft was 65, that would be Jonas Rondbjerg.
4) If the player you landed on has played at least one NHL game, that's the player you've chosen. Jaden Lindo hasn't played an NHL game. Jonas Rondbjerg however has played a game, so that's my guy.
5) If the player hasn't played an NHL game, look below at the next 5 draft picks. You may select any one of these players instead. For the 2014 draft, among the next five players was Tyler Motte, so I may pick him instead. Unforutantely since Rondbjerg has played in the NHL, I miss out on getting Morgan Geekie or Mackenzie Entwistle.
6) Do for as many drafts as you'd like to see if you can get a competent NHL team.

For this one, I went between 2011 and 2022. Would've gone back farther but I think the team is deep enough. For 2019 through 2022 I didn't switch to a player with NHL games because most of them uh....wouldn't have had a chance at the NHL level yet and it's a little more interesting to see what prospects you can land.

If a player doesn't have an NHL contract I usually just skipped them to make it easier on myself. From all the players I drew this is the best team that could be rostered.
