Player Discussion Artem Zub (D) Part 2 [Extended 4 years @ $4.6M]

[bert]

Idk what lawsuits are outstanding other than the Ruddy one. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out

Oh there is no doubt there are many. Much like Donald Sterling that's how Melnyk operated. His willingness to go to court and settle is a huge reason he became so wealthy. Like Friedman said that's what is holding everything up based on everything I've heard. Essentially the family has taken possession of the house its been renovated and were just waiting on probate.

If he scores 40 next year, I am giving him 9 million with absolute ease and I am going to sleep the most comfiest man.

And hilariously enough, I bet you there are an uncomfortably large amount of people here that would still today be happy to instead pay Mark Stone $10m per for 6 more years. A 30yr old with an injury history, poor skating, and has scored 30 one time in his career.

On Zub - did I hear that he spent the summer in Ottawa training. Or am I misremembering something...?

Getting a bit off topic here, but Sanderson, and by extension, Zub, don't need to be particularly big to be elite defensive players, guys like Hjalmarsson (6'3 197), Vlasic (6'1 205), Keith (6'1 192), Lidstrom (6'2 190), and Niedermayer (6' 200) all used their skating and hockey IQ to be elite defenders. Sanderson has a frame that looks like it will fill out well, I suspect he's going to be around 200-205 as his ideal weight.

This is what I see,an elite skater that uses elite defense to generate offense

Did he not have a Trust? Would seem a little odd for a man with his wealth to not have a Trust (it bypasses the Probate process).

Probably also true that there's a lot of people who don't look at CapFriendly and understand its implications for the team i.e., in 2023-24. Oh well.

 

[topshelf15]

Please sign Zub...We will never replace him should we lose him,he was a gift from the hockey gods...lol

 

[SensFactor]

Zub might be the most popular Sens player ...he's awesome

 

[Sun God Nika]

Ya I’m fine with overpaying good hockey players we have a bunch of dead cap coming off over the next couple of years a 1m per year overpay is fine with defensive stability on the line

 

[GCK]

I’ve heard good news is coming shortly on the Zub front, no details. Fingers crossed.

Can't wait! I think he will get really comfortable with the NHL game this season and be a huge steadying influence on the back-end.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Would be the nail in the coffin for a dream-like off-season. Anything extra (top 4 dman) would be the greatest off-season ever, and would never be matched.

Gotta get Zub re-signed. Was always our 1st priority if we were not brining in external top 4 RD.

Don't play with my emotions I'm fragile

 

[Que]

Imagine if we re-signed Zub opening night.

That barn might actually explode.

 

[Boud]

Getting Zub and Stutzle extended right away before this season would be huge. Zub playing a full season with Chabot on a better team with the cap going up would undoubtedly result in a higher price tag.

Getting him locked up right now based on his stats and play with subpar partners on a bad team would be incredible. If he wants to sign that contract you do that for sure right now.

Will make it way easier to deal with next summer free agents as well. Would mean management only has to deal with Debrincat and Pinto extensions. Maybe Formenton depending on what happens. Going into next year with Stutzle and Zub needing extensions would've made it very complicated. Now, if Zub signs as well, absolute home run off season for Dorion. Already better than I could've ever imagined, if this happens as well I might cry.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Is this gonna happen?....

Do I dare to dream?

 

[Alex1234]

We absolutely cannot let him go

 

[PatrickEaves]

I’ve heard good news is coming shortly on the Zub front, no details. Fingers crossed.

Is this the same as the good news of the Chychrun deal happening that never happened?

 

[GCK]

Is this the same as the good news of the Chychrun deal happening that never happened?

That wasn’t me. This was simply a comment from someone who knows management very well. The exact comment was that “something good is coming on the Zub front shortly”.

 

[Samsquanch]

I get the impression that he definitely wants to be here, and that hes like a quiet, soft spoken type of guy that probably places a lot of value in being comfortable so that he can quietly go about doing his thing.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Even a 2 or 3 year deal would be great. Enough to stabilize the blueline for a bit and give us some time.

 

[Icelevel]

It would be shocking and should be shocking if he didn’t sign here. People are that pessimistic?
Good to here it might be done soon though. Thumbs up

did you know that Khabarovsk (Zub's city of birth) is almost on the same latitude as Ottawa 48° vs 45°?
In Khabarovsk, the summers are long and comfortable, the winters are frigid and snowy, and it is partly cloudy year round

 

[topshelf15]

Just sign him....A defender like him will always have value...If he hits the market someone will pay for him

 

[DJB]

If a deal gets done I think it’s a shorter team deal. Think 3 or 4 years

Think thats how we end up keeping Debrincat as well

I can see DeBrincat wanting term. This is his time to get paid and set himself up for life.
