Well Woodlief the head scout is based out of NY. But they do have a WHL scout and Calgary is not a bad place to have your WHL scout based out of.
I've seen some people say Bean is atrocious defensively. That may drop him for some teams. But other teams believe defense can be taught by a good minor league coach and that his offensive ability is something you could never teach. I think our scouts thought that when we were able to snag Kylington who's offensive ability and skating was not in question but his defensive game among other things was.
our organization is strong in puck moving dmen and he's got average size so I think his skill set won't be prioritized by us this draft, there's 9 guys that sound more appealing for the Flames IMO
