As soon as Zub puts pen to paper I'm getting his jersey.

He’s definitely better than Methot, who I think is heavily overrated because he played with our franchise’s best ever player. Chabot has looked good, even great (last season especially), but he’s certainly no Karlsson so Chabot-Zub won’t be as good as Methot-EK even if Zub is better than Methot in all 3 zones.

Methot was never overrated. He held the D together after Cooke sliced Karlsson and made Gryba look like an NHL D man.

That was the best game I have seen from Zub.
That was a top pairing performance, he was simply spectacular.

Reporter: how does it feel to go up against Ovie?
Zub: this question again?
What a legend.

Stopping Ovechkin isn't easy, hasn't been for 17 years. Can't wait to see how Zub is able to match up against other elite players like McDrai, Kaprizov, Panarin, etc..

Agreed never overrated just alot of fans don't understand how important and unique a player he was. Being hard to play against while not being a net negative from a puck possession standpoint for D men is very hard. People seemed to forget that about Zub at times too.

Methot had a singular responsibility and he did it well.
I’m not sure why we are comparing these two players because they are quite a bit different.

I have to believe that is more on Zub than on us.
Zub will make more money by going to market, not much we can do about it.
If Dorion has been dragging his feet then we have a very real problem.
I’d love to see him signed but there seems to be a plan on how the moves/signings are being made. Even if the plan is to promote JBD and Thomson next year we still need Zub IMO.

Well, it takes two to sing it. And we have no idea as to what the other side wants.

I'm sure that Dorion wants to resigned Zub but at the end of the day it will be Zub that decided if he wants to stay or go. Maybe Zub wants to hit the free agent market and he's got every right to do that. I hope we can signed him long term

The concerning part is that it sounds like the player has not been approached by the team yet. Shawn Simpson is saying that as well as Ian mendes in his recent article on Zub.

They seem to think JBD and Thomson can be pencilled in that spot. Dorion alluded to something like that.
They have to see how big of a mistake that would be by now.
What did methot get 4.9? Zub is better in every way we should be prepared to give more, even if it means letting ADC go.
