Mews is one of the best offensive defenders in the 2024 NHL Draft, but is his game rounded enough for...
The OHL Cup final on April 4, 2022 was supposed to be one of the biggest games of Henry Mews ’ career.
“He’s the guy you’d throw out there because you desperately need a goal late in the game,” an OHL scout said at the time. “Mews makes things happen.” The son of former AHLer Harry Mews, Henry has a game built around being a play-driving, right-handed force from the point. His hockey sense is top-notch, and his intelligence with the puck allows him to create the damage he produces. Even in a year where he didn’t explode offensively as many expected, it seemed like he was in more control than ever with the puck, making fewer panic moves than he did as a rookie a year ago.
When everything is clicking for Mews and he can focus on his own game – the double golds with Canada’s Hlinka Gretzky and U-18 World Championship teams this season were perfect examples – he’s excellent. But scouts want him to be more effective when he’s not in control of the game – mostly in his own zone, picking up the man and being strong enough to clear opponents from around the crease.
Depending on who you’ll talk to, some believe Mews is a late first-rounder; others think he’ll fall to the second or third. The upside is there – he’s not big, but he’s not small and has the offensive tools to make himself extremely valuable, especially on the power play. But being a special teams merchant won’t make you an effective everyday NHLer.
