If Bear can get stronger, he will be scary. Smallish guy but he clearly loves to play physical. He was looking to kill people in the prospects tourney but missed a couple would be highlight reel hits. He shows no concern going into the corners as a smaller guy which might be a bad thing going forward.
I think if he gets real strong, he could be a unique player. How many offensively skilled defencemen do you see who love to take the body too in the NHL? Not many.
Stevens, young Phaneuf, Doughty?
I was just reading a scouting report on him and they compare him to Lubomir Visnovsky
