Someone we think that should be top 10 wont be, and someone we don't expect to be top 10 will be. It just seems inevitable with all these lists out there.
If just one top-ten drafting NHL team's list has a couple of these curveballs, then we're going to see a surprise. If more than one team's list looks something like Tony Ferrari's list from THN, then it's going to be wild. We may see 3-4 so-called consensus top-ten players drop to the Flames (who may throw a curveball of their own).

The actual draft always seems a bit out of touch with early mock drafts, and this year is shaping up to be craziest in a long time.
