But where does that leave us in pre-camp predictions?
Weber arrived on Habs fans radar at a peculiar moment in the team’s history, former Hab Mark Streit was wowing fans with his thunderous and accurate slap shot, and inevitably comparisons started raining in when scouting reports praised Weber’s quarterbackish qualities on the power play.
`` I understand that people like to compare players especially that Mark is from Switzerland and we both have strengths on the Power play but I want to work hard to move beyond that comparison``
I had time to review a few Trevor Timmins interviews I had done at the end of the 2009 development camps and at that time I came out of it thinking that at 5’9, right handed, fast and an OHL QB scoring machine, it was like I had just asked Trevor what would be the opposite of Ryan O’byrne (who is also right handed).
So in the grand scheme of things where does that put Weber coming out of training camp?
Probably on the prime recall list if another defenseman goes down, but with Hamrlik, O’byrne, Spacek, Gill and Gorges guaranteed a starting spot and the Habs adding Alexandre Picard, count playoff rookie sensation P.K Subban to be a favourite coming out of camp.
