Remains Mews.

Honzek is so behind now with his constant injuries I can’t see him cracking my top 10.

Why not? Make an argument.

My argument:

Honzek has the highest ceiling of any of those prospects. He's big and has had injury issues, both of which can reasonably delay development. That said, his development window is closing. He needs to bulk up and get close to a ppg this year in the AHL.

There seems to be a certain group who did not like the pick and therefore hate the prospect. Even if he's only a 20% chance of being a big top 6 center, it's worth it at that position (his floor is also quite high - he will end-up a mid-six winger).

Gridin to me is a bigger question: he played in the Q last year and was only very good. Mews tanked after the trade. Basha was limited by injuries (much like Honzek D+1). Batts was very good in spurts. Morin may be better than any you mentioned (excepting Honzek).

Honzek is a good defensive player. But he hasn't been able to address concerns about his offensive capabilities in his d1 and d2 years. He might be a good bottom 6 guy at some point, especially if he learns to use his size and can stay healthy, but you can find those guys outside of the middle of the first round. So I get the concern with the pick.

But I don't disagree. He is at least in the running as the Flames 6 best prospect.

Basha all day long for me, he seems to be the forgotten man because of that ankle injury last season. He's my dark-horse to make the opening night roster

Suniev is definitely someone I'm considering, starting next round. I went Gridin last round because he's a sniper, and Potter this round because he's a burner. After this, I don't see any really outstanding individual skills that set one prospect apart from the rest, so it's going to be much harder to decide.
