2011 NHL Draft

Name	Pos.	From
1. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins	C	Red Deer (WHL)
He has the highest upside in the draft, but he's not the most pro-ready.
2. Jonathan Huberdeau	C	Saint John (QMJHL)
High-end, talented player who plays a 200-foot game, but strength needs to improve.
3. Gabriel Landeskog	LW	Saint John (QMJHL)
As complete a player as there is in this year's draft.
4. Adam Larsson	C	Skelleftea (Sweden)
Combination of size, skill, skating and grit will make him invaluable as a top-four D-man.
5. Ryan Strome	C	Niagara (OHL)
His hockey IQ is through the roof, and he would pair well with John Tavares.
6. Sean Couturier	C	Drummondville (QMJHL)
Could be the one to light a fire under Jason Spezza.
7. Mika Zibanejad	C	Djurgarden (Sweden-Jr.)
Plays the game with speed and intensity.
8. Dougie Hamilton	D	Niagara (OHL)
Has the offensive upside to be a top-four blueliner, but occasionally loses focus.
9. Ryan Murphy	D	Kitchener (OHL)
Could fix all of the Bruins' power-play struggles.
10. Mark Scheifele	C	Barrie Colts (OHL)
Size, speed, skill combination is very attractive.
