Profile Contributed By: Jason Menard

History

2006-07: This Swiss blueliner adjusted quite well to the demands of the North American game and became an integral part of the Rangers’ blueline corps in his rookie season. Not blessed with outstanding size – he measures in at a respectable 5’10, 195 pounds – the Bern native tallied 41 points in 51 games in his freshman OHL year.

 

 

Talent Analysis

In addition to displaying solid defensive responsibility, Weber displayed a nose for the net and value on the power play unit. 

While he may not have the upside of a Katic, he’s far less mercurial in temperment and performance and could be the safer pick for a club looking for depth defensemen.
