THN's 2011 NHL Mock Draft

The 2011 draft promises to be one of the most chaotic in years, particularly at the top. Dominoes will fall based on the first pick and conventional wisdom may be tossed on its ear. With that in mind, this mock draft is based on one of those possible outcomes and is not necessarily "best player available." For an inside scoop on some of the other twists expected to occur, read my column that will appear this Friday.

Minnesota hosts this year's draft starting June 24 and though THN's Draft Preview ranked Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as the top pick, there are a number of top prospects who could go No. 1.

So without further ado, we present our 2011 mock draft.
