I wanted to choose Bear, but his achilleas injury is scary, not many players come back the same after that injury.
If everything is equal (talent, upside, intangibles, size, etc) you take the center, but with Carbonneau he is far and away the most talented player on this list so you have to take him if these are the choices at 18.
Cootes and Hensler would be next after that.
