I am curious if you've got any thoughts on Mews +/-. I know it's a stat you have to be careful with but with such a high point total, the negative number pops out to me. Is that an indication of some attributes of his defensive game, more reflective of the team he played on, a combination of both, etc.?

Thanks for asking. Mews is considered to be a two-way player, but while the defensive part of his game is good, there’s still room to grow in that area. Given that he converted to D from forward not long before joining the 67’s, there’s some development needed, as well as improvements required to his consistency in his own zone. He’s not mistake-free either.
That said, I think at least some of his +/- can be attributed to playing on a weak Ottawa 67’s team, although he’s -3 since joining the Wolves, who are inexplicably struggling since his arrival, and have dropped a spot or two in the standings….
