Same. He seems to be hovering mid-first on a lot of lists, but I'd probably take him at the tail end of the top 10.
The more in-depth scouting reports seem to be absolutely glowing for him as a player able to contribute on any line due to sheer effort, natural skill, and willingness to play a 3 zone game. Easily one of the safest players to make the NHL this year. Even better, his major weakness seems to be skating stride and Danielle Fujita seems to be working miracles on the Flames' prospects on that front.
I think he'd be an excellent selection if you use the second 1st round pick on a swing for the fences (e.g., Ryabkin). Biggest issue is that I don't think Bear falls that low...the NHL seems to love their "do everything decently" players and let the one-dimensional picks fall a little.
