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

[NB613]

Terrific news if true.

Will sing Dorion's praises if he makes it happen.

Yeah this is #2 most important move besides getting a new owner!

I asked about the Zub deal, sounds as close to done as it can be.

Let's hope it gets done.. vs We made what we thought was a fair offer but the player ultimately has to want to stay rather than go test the market which is his right.

The 2 year deal initially is still a head scratcher

FWIW, apparently that was the “plan” with the agent when he signed here.

Get him to free agency ASAP.

 

[SpezDispenser]

This is a must, obviously

 

[Liver King]

time to buy that Zub jersey

 

[thinkwild]

Hopefully great news. I remember when Zub first came i had no idea who he was but figured he was going to be replacing Jaros in the #6 spot after learning a bit of English, the system, and gaving the coaches confidence he knew what they wanted from him. Now we can pay him fairly and keep him i hope.

Its the only thing that really makes sense.

I am not sure this has ever been confusing. If I am Zub or his agent I would have done the exact same thing. If you believe in your abilities why not get to UFA as quickly as possible. I don't blame Dorion or the Sens management at all as I am sure Zub's camp made it clear buying UFA years would cost a considerable amount.

 

[Ouroboros]

Huge overpay incoming.

I’ve been told by several posters that it was due to Dorion’s incompetence.

Huge overpay incoming.

6x5.25M my guess lol

 

[GCK]

Doubt it’s a HUGE overpay. 4.5-5 is market value IMO but anything below 6 with term is fair with the cap rising.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

I'd be surpsied it if was under $5M per .. Hopefully though!

Well Dorion said something to the effect that JBD/Thomson would be ready to replace him...not sure of the exact wording. So that probably has something to do with a negative reaction towards Dorion and he wasn't exactly riding a wave.

Is it unreasonable to expect two players you used 1st round picks on to be able to step into the NHL when they're both 22/23 years old?

At that time they likely had higher hopes for both of those guys. Today it seems clear that neither one will be a quality NHL player.

I think it was pretty clear that Zub was a keeper but that is probably moot if the deal was cooked in from the start.
At that time it would have taken a lot of rose colored glasses projection imo

Boo Boo claiming nothing is imminent.

This might define how the bowtie's career goes from here.

Assen na yo!

With that I expect a signing before Christmas

This is amazing but really a must have if we are going to actually become a playoff contender let alone a Cup contender.

 

[Salva Mea]

will be long -term and less money... 4.5-6 and im ok. ( anyway 5-6 year )

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Was my number 1 ranked priority.

It will also likely mean the next addition we have on D can only cost us about 4 million unless we are moving on from DeBrincat.

If Sanderson continues to develop well, I honestly believe that Chabot, Zub and Sanderson will be a better top 3 than what most teams have, we just need a steady #4. A guy like Mayfield or Jensen could come relatively cheap.

 

[Emerica]

4x4.6 for Zub

Thats a great deal
