Over the next two seasons, he played 78 games, tallying 1 goal and 11 assists, serving as an assistant captain, and helping guide the Terriers to back-to-back Frozen Four appearances in the 2023 and 2024. BU lost to runner-up Minnesota in 2023 and champion Denver in 2024. Following his senior season with Terriers in 2023–24, he was awarded the Best Defensive Defenseman trophy as the best defensive defenseman in the Hockey East conference.[4]
Toronto Maple Leafs
[edit]On March 7th, 2024, the Hurricanes traded his rights to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft.[5] On April 18th, Webber and the Maple Leafs agreed to a 2-year entry-level contract ahead of the Maple Leafs playoff series game against the Boston Bruins.[6] On October 4th, Webber was assigned to the Toronto Marlies along with 14 other players to start the 2024-25 AHL season.[7] 3 days later, Webber would sign a two-year contract extension to stay with the Maple Leafs organization.[8]
