Battaglia for me - but dead heat with Morin, Mews and Basha.
I think Morin has top pairing upside - the #2 guy on a top pair, or an anchor for the 2nd pairing. He reminds me of Giordano.
Mews has the higher offensive ceiling over Morin. I am interested to see what college does to his game.
Basha will be an NHL player, and probably in the middle-six I think. It is hard not to like this kid. He has that 'it' factor like Tkachuk had in my opinion. The "I am an NHLer already" vibe to him.
Went with Battaglia simply because I believe he has top line winger potential who can also be physical and hard to play against. I think he will be hard to contain at the NHL level as he develops, not only for his physicality, but his soft hands and IQ too.
