When this trade was announced Maple Leafs fans did not react all that strongly. Toronto is looking to win a Stanley Cup now and Webber is a piece for the future.
I've watched Cade Webber play about 100 games at BU. He's a 6'7» physical , shot blocking machine who skates well and can make a first pass. This is a well developed prospect and is 100% worth a 6th round pick by the #LeafsForever
However, a new accolade brought in by Webber has piqued the interest of the Maple Leafs fans.
New Maple Leafs Prospect Receives Major Award From His League
Since being acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs Cade Webber's stock as a prospect has increased. He has increased that stock by winning the Best Defensive Defenseman in Hockey East.
Never a doubt who was getting this award.
Congrats to Cade Webber on being selected as the Best Defensive Defenseman in Hockey East!

For a team that has been looking for a defensive boost for years having a top prospect at the position is great news. If Webber signs and can continue to translate his game to higher levels he could be a great piece for a competing Maple Leafs team sooner rather than later.
