How did this all happen?

Four of the Cafe’s resident hockey buffs were kind enough to submit their draft day cheat sheets for ranking. Each individual sheet consisted of the top 50 defensemen and the top 30 at each other position. The players were ranked on the average score given them. Any player that did not make an individual ranking were assigned the score 31, or 51 in the case of defensemen, for the purpose of the average.
