Carter Bear, praised as a “naturally instinctive, creative scorer,” joined the Detroit Red Wings emphasizing his relentless desire over offensive prowess, explaining his 13th overall draft pick.

Any time the 18-year-old is on the ice, he's extremely engaged and looking to get involved in play. Whatever it takes—throwing a hit, winning a battle, driving through opponents to get to the net—you can bet he's willing to do it. That level of engagement is so valuable; it's the kind of thing that could make or break a game.

In Bear, the Red Wings are getting a highly skilled and highly competitive winger to add to their prospect stable.
