  draft.pick = T, round = T, Agerel = "9/15", Goalie = F,
  position = T, shoots = T, Stats = c("S", "Team", "League", "GP",
  "G", "A", "TP", "PIM", "+/-", "sv%", "GAA"), place.birth = T,
  pbsep = T, country = T, height = T, weight = T, date.birth = T,
  dbsep = T, drafted.team = T, reg.playoffs = "R")

Arguments

Data	the url of the draft year webpage on eliteprospects.com.
Agerange	2-length vector for the age ranges desired. first number is lower-bound, second number is upper-bound. This will be applied to all players.
draft.year	Boolean about whether to include the draft year of the player.
draft.pick	Boolean about whether to include the draft pick used on the player.
round	Boolean about whether to include the round the player was drafted in.
Agerel	This determines how the exact age included in the data frame is calculated. Default is 9/15 due to this being the cutoff data for draft eligibility. For example, during the 2019-2020 season, if Agerel is 9/15, the age in the data frame will represent the players age on 9/15/2020. The offset here is so that for a player's first draft eligible year, their age will be >18.
Goalie	Boolean about whether information on goalies is wanted. If true, output will be a list of data frames, with one for players, and one for goalies. Currently this doesn't do anything, as there isn't a goalie scraper function built out yet.
position	Boolean about whether to include the position of the player.
shoots	Boolean about whether to include the handedness of the player.
Stats	vector of the wanted stats. S - Season, Team - Team, League - League, GP - Games Played, G - Goals, A - Assists, TP - Total Points, PIM - Penalties in Minutes, +/- - Plus/Minus, sv GAA - Goals Against Average (for goalies)
place.birth	Boolean about whether to include the birthplace of the player.
pbsep	Boolean about whether the birthplace should be split into Country, State, and City. place.birth has to be true for this to matter.
country	Boolean about whether to include the country the player represents (or would represent) in international tournaments. Currently just grabs the first if a player has multiple, but eliteprospects is generally good about putting the correct one first.
height	Boolean about whether to include the height of the player. This is in centimeters.
weight	Boolean about whether to include the weight of the player. This is in pounds.
date.birth	Boolean about whether to include the date of birth of the player.
dbsep	Boolean about whether the date of birth should be seperated into year, month, and day. date.birth has to be true for this to matter.
drafted.team	Boolean about whether to include the team who drafted the player.
reg.playoffs	Determines if regular season data, playoff data, or both will be returned for all the players. Currently only 'R' works.

Value

data frame (or list of data frames) with data from all the players drafted in the given year.
