CADE WEBBER TRADED TO TORONTO
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Cade Webber from the Carolina Hurricanes for a sixth-round draft pick in 2026.
What does it give the Toronto Maple Leafs
Webber is a massive defensive defenseman who is currently playing college hockey. The Maple Leafs have until August 15 to sign him, so acquiring his rights before the trade deadline gives them enough time to get a contract done.
What does it give the Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes were probably not going to be able to sign Webber before the August 15 deadline. Therefore, they took what they could get in return (in this case, a sixth-rounder in '26). Carolina will probably not miss Webber at any point.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Webber is strictly about size, defensive prowess and physicality.
