I remember Brad Treliving saying after the deadline he wants to sign Webber. So unless there are drastic changes I think the contract will be done soon after his season at BU ends

GOOD LAD.

He also said he plans on going straight to the NHL and making the team out of camp next year (but said he understands if he has to play in minors which I kinda like the confidence)

Way to go Brad!

Where are all the Brad haters? Where are all the judgemental assholes, that think being an NHL GM is so easy?

For a measly 6th rounder
Nice trade Brad T

Love it. Have to wait and see how he pans out in the pro game still but I think there’s a lot of potential here.
Moving a 6th for a guy like this is a steal.

We have 8 expiring defence contracts (including Muzzin). He has every chance to make the roster.

LOVE IT. Hopefully we can keep Edmundson (only 30 years old) for next season and he can show Cade how to be an absolute asshole, use his size, and defend like a lumberjack in front of the net.
Also if Edmundson sticks around and Webber cracks the roster next year, our d-core just got about 5 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier.

Habs fans having an absolute fit that this guy got named Top Defender over Lane Hutson.

That’s good news! He looked pretty slow in the clips but hopefully our development staff can help him. I’d wouldn’t expect him to be a Leaf for another year or so.

That is a great attitude but everyone remember this kid is 23 and making the jump to the NHL is hard. He may very well require 2+ years in the AHL before becoming a fulltime NHL’er. It’s similar to how we treat Liligren who is only 24. Dmen take in general take time to mature to the NHL game

Not everyone is Makar but I love the confidence play. Hope he does if only prove himself right
reluctantLeaf
Hope he doesn’t turn into the next Brayden Irwin. Who you might ask? Exactly.

He’s going to be a great partner for Liljegren
