To me he's the closest thing we've had to a Methot type player in the sense that he's not offensively good enough to be a top pairing guy, but he does all the little things well to help slow down the pace and let the rest of his linemates do what they need to.
???? Zub is on out top pairing, what are you on about.
I meant throughout his time here. He hasn't always played the top pairing and more often than not hasn't been consistenyl played with Chabot as he should
He needs to be either more physical or more offensively ambitious to be a top pairing guy IMO. As a 2nd pairing guy he's perfect. No glaring weakness, just solid all around.
I'd have thought at worst a #3
Yeah I thought he would be more ambitious offensively given he got lots of goals in the KHL. Maybe they knew how solid he was defensively and told him the team has Chabot and absolutely needs a guy who they can rely on consistently to be a rock on defense so he focused more on that.
I'd consider him a solid 3, but can play on the top pairing just like Methot.
He’s a complement to either an offensive 1st or two way partner in either of the top 2 pairings. He will PK and can eat up to 20 minutes at even strength.
He’s been subpar through preseason and the first 2 games. Chabot isn’t the only one struggling on our top pair.
He has more goals than the rest of our defensemen combined.
Yeah, Zub is an elite all around complimentary player.
That was awesome...so much enthusiasm for every "ZUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBB" chant.Should've extended Zub before seasons started
Now he knows he's the soul of this Senators fandom.
