Appreciate the feedback
If he clears waivers, he's probably at the top of the list of call-ups if the Leafs hit a snag of injuries.

My issue watching tape of Webber during his NCAA days was his gap control
I thought he gave up his blueline way to easily and he ended up having to block shots in some pretty high danger areas
Which isn't ideal
He skates alright so I'm looking for him to start playing a much tighter gap, not give up his blueline and not have to rely on his shot blocking abilities quite so much
That's going to go a long way to telling me what he's going to end up being imo
Just asking ...
Does the NHL allow more contact than NCAA?
That may impact gap control for better or worse.
When you're defending the rush it isn't as contact based, your backing up and trying to keep the attacker in front of you
It's more mobility and managing your gap, a big guy who doesn't have bad mobility should be able to keep his gap tight without getting beaten and limit shooting opportunities
He didn't do that as often as I would like and I think he's capable of it and it would help him if he wants to get to higher levels imo

I seem to recall when we traded for him he was billed as a massive shot blocker.
