Interesting Brunet article on Weber.

Even though Weber didn't look great in the 3 games he was here, Brunet preaches patience, reminding us that most defencemen generally take 4-5 years to develop and that Weber is the only defenceman from his draft class to have played an NHL game this season and only the 3rd to have any other NHL experience(the other two being Karl Alzner and John Negrin).

The fact that he is even this close this early should be very encouraging. He's got a bright future ahead of him with the Canadiens, but it looks like he's not quite there yet. Patience.
