April 2025 – Mews, the Sudbury Wolves defenseman and Calgary Flames prospect, has committed to the Michigan Wolverines starting in the 2025-26 season. He is the first Canadian Hockey League player to commit to Michigan since the NCAA made Canadian Hockey League players eligible for Division I hockey in November 2024. Mark Henry
June 2o24 – Mews was selected 74th overall by the Flames. Pat Quinn
April 2024– Mews is an interesting case study. He’s an offensively tilted defenseman playing in a conservative defensive structure in Ottawa. Despite the system, Mews produced at nearly a point-per-game pace this season, mainly due to effective puck movement and passing. The big question with Mews will be how much offense there actually is in his game, and can he extract that offensive potential in the higher leagues ahead? If he can, he’s likely worthy of a 1st round pick. If he can’t, his path to the NHL is a bit cloudier as he has just okay size and competitive level but struggles defensively. If he hits, expect a power play contributor and a puck-moving player. Jordan Harris
February 2024 – Earlier in the season, our thoughts on Mews were mixed, and they remain the same for our mid-season rankings. Mews is a very effective passer who can move pucks up the ice and set up teammates on the offensive end. His skating and shooting are above average, and he also has excellent hands. Given his tools, you’d think he would generate offense more in line with players like Parekh and Buium, but he isn’t. He seems hesitant to activate at teams while opting for a safer mission. Some scouts at Dobber believe this could result from playing within an Ottawa system that doesn’t lend itself to much risk-taking. Given this perspective, it’s hard to gauge what the offensive upside is with Mews as it currently doesn’t match the skillset. On the back end, it’s been a mixed bag. Mews can struggle in his zone and look overmatched, especially under pressure. This leads to turnovers or an inability to exit the defensive zone. If the offense is better than what he’s shown, then our spot for Mews will hold. If it’s not a schematic issue, we could see Mews dropping in our following rankings. – Jordan Harris
