With the 25th overall pick in the 2011 SBN NHL Mock Entry draft I'm excited to announce our selection: the Saint John Sea Dogs' Zack Phillips.

Phillips was instrumental in the Sea Dogs' Memorial Cup championship scoring nine goals and adding 15 assists in 24 games between the QMJHL playoffs and the Mem Cup. He's a center that will likely play wing at the NHL level, but his production in the playoffs is a strong indicator of NHL success. Last season the advanced stats community identified a player likely to score based on his postseason production: Jeff Skinner.
