The Detroit Red Wings had quite a few reasons to draft Carter Bear, but his relentless nature was at the top of the list.

The Detroit Red Wings liked Carter Bear’s combination of competitiveness and scoring ability, traits their current club could use. They’ll have to wait a few years on Bear, a left wing from WHL Everett they selected 13th overall Friday at the NHL entry draft.

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