Confirmed. Here's a compromise idea regarding Vegas: the draft is 30 rounds, you can pick Vegas but as a result that means one of the other 30 you can't pick. That way we can keep Vegas part of the draft but not have them messing with strategies too much.

How many teams are you looking for and when will this begin roughly?

Not sure I fully understand the rules for this, but I'd give it a go if you are looking for more participation...
FWIW, you could consider having a cut off date, as I have no idea how you compare Rocket Richard to the Russian Rocket, for example.
It sort of reminds me of the debate on the best 100 football players of all time; if you didn't take era into account, then all 100 best players would be from the modern era.
I am alright eliminating Vegas if everyone is good with that. Then we have an even number of rounds, which is always ideal for a snake draft.
I am looking for anywhere from 5-10. And I think it would be wise to start on Monday next week.
There is no perfect way to compare the two Rockets, but that is what makes this experiment fun and a learning exercise. It allows for discussion and see different peoples thoughts. You can ask... why did you draft the Russian Rocket over the Rocket Richard... and people will give their thoughts. And the thing is... there is no wrong answer... unless you are trying to be wrong. Like selecting Luke Schenn as one of the greatest Flyers, or Alex Daigle as one of the greatest Senators.
I would be in. Just keep in mind with nicer weather, I am out more (walking, biking) without the internet.

Alright PH if removing Vegas helps with the snake format, outright removal sounds like a good idea to me

Whats everyone's thoughts on this for positions:
3 Goalies
8 Defensemen
19 Forwards
Or
3 Goalies
7 Defenseman
20 Forwards
Or where's the magic cut line on positions?

First, I see no great reason to exclude Vegas. This fixes your above dilemma, thus 20-8-3.
why, again, was Vegas eliminated?

The discussion to eliminate Vegas is based around the shortage of years in existence. There is only 3 years of existence and they only have 30 players in history? Whereas all the other tams have 20+ years and a lot more players to choose from.
And if we do include Vegas it creates a problem in which the last round of the draft becomes the same order as the first round... which throws the equalization of having a snake draft... not that it makes a huge difference after 30 rounds... but my OCD always leads me to want to have an even amount of rounds in a snake draft so that all things are equal.

What about players that have played for multiple teams? Can Gretzky be draft twice? Once for EDM and another for LA? (would be silly to draft him from STL or NYR)
