I have Mews, Basha and Battaglia all ahead so I voted Mews as he seems to be leading out of the 3.

That’s his floor. He is 100% an NHLer who probably would have been better served by not making the team straight out of camp in his D+1 year, only to be demoted and subsequently hampered by multiple random injuries, much like Backlund early in his career. That and his 200 foot game are the reasons for the comparisons. Honzek’s ceiling is still top six winger.
