Concussion in the rookie camp and lost his father last summer also. It must of been a really rough year for the poor kid. He’s got hockey IQ and that never quite drive that can’t be taught. Also seems to have a bit of a “shift distruber” in hiim, which I like. I haven’t watched him play a lot, probably about 10 games this year but I think he’s got a chance to make it. He’s maybe a little small for his style of play but only time will tell

Tverberg is my sleeper prospect for us. I can see him being the next in line of guys like Hyman and Moore, who combine elite effort and high IQ with just enough skill.

It's unfortunate, I don't want to lament too much, at the end of the a day a young man is gone far too soon.
When a Rangers 1st rounder passed they got a first as compensation. Proof the NHL is Cdn team biased. It's garbage.
No. The Rangers got a 2nd as compensation for not signing their 1st rounder (because he died), as allowed for in the CBA. It doesnt happend a lot but other teams have been so compensated for players they didnt want to/ couldnt sign.
A 2nd round pick is a small price to pay for whatever help and comfort the team was able to give to his family, and the experiences he was able to have.

That's pretty much it, Toronto signed Amirov and NYR didn't sign Cherapanov.

Alexei Cherepanov was not signed so they got compensation for him the 17th pick in the second round.

It's proof you don't know the rules, nothing more.
I'm not be labouring that at all. We have no picks. I will take a 2nd rounder as he would be about to help us.
Do I look like a lawyer to you?
You don't need to be a lawyer to avoid offering factually incorrect loud opinions.

Well when Kampf gets dumped then Minten moves up. Leafs will have to move some cap.

Quite possibly, but the fans might lack the courage to watch a prospect have some struggles.
Many will only accept a prospect that is a proven NHLer. (I know, I know, but ... dorks)

It will be nice to have Niemela and Cade Webber as options on the farm.

I think he gets a call up this year and as long as he's holding his own, he could go late into training camp pre-season games.
Is Webber going to be anything more than a 6th D with the Marlies?
I don't get the hype around him, it seems like best case scenario, he is someone you'd target with a 5th round pick at the deadline to keep as a #7 on a cup run.

I don't really think there is much hype around him. He's a big guy, who has a chance of becoming a #6/7 at the NHL level. But the cost... a 6th round in 2026 is no big deal. If he turns into something, great, if not.. .that's fine too. A 2026 6th, if we managed to get lucky and hit, wouldn't be a player until around 2030 anyway... it's just accelerating that chance.
But this is the "hype" around him.
“You are talking about a 6-foot-7 defenceman who has good mobility, and his only focus is on defending,” said former NHLer Colby Cohen, who won a national title with BU back in 2009 and finished as the NCAA tournament MVP.
“He takes pride in blocking shots, ending plays in his own zone, and moving the puck quickly to his partner or his forwards. He’s been well coached at BU and Cade has really taken another step this season on his reads defending the rush. BU leans heavily on him when they are killing penalties and protecting the lead.”
Webber is a pure defensive defenceman, but he’s among the best. The fourth-year college defender was named Best Defensive Defenceman in Hockey East on Thursday, his first personal hardware during his college tenure. He was able to win the Hockey East title with BU a year ago, playing a pure shutdown role for a team led defensively by Lane Hutson and Domenick Fensore.
A large defender with limited puck skill and spending a lot of time in his end is what I am reading.
Not sure he has a spot on the team soon and is already 23/24 if I am not mistaken.
Anyway, a 6th on him is not an issue, have just seen some people excited about him and don't understand the hype.
Best case, he seems like a limited D man who will top out as a bottom-pairing D.
I hope he becomes more, just seems unlikely he will learn how to play with the puck so late into his development.
Hopefully, I am wrong, I am just a lot more excited about a few of our other D prospects with much higher ceilings.

What he will be is an injury replacement if we need a PK, shot blocking, defensively responsible D.
I'd think he is #4/5 to be called up.
Timmins (likely already the #7), Rifai, Niemela, Villeneuve, and Kokkenen all likely get a look ahead of him (or should at least).
There are some defensively responsible D there, but most of them are likely better with the puck, which is something we will need as well.
Like I said, hopefully, he is better than what I've seen (only clips), but he just looks big and nothing else.
He hasn't even looked good defensively in the clips I've seen, so likely I need to see more of him.
