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

[Sens of Anarchy]

Such a critical part of this team. Excellent player. Glad it got done. I would have even paid him 500k aav more to get it done.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

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

Congrats again on calling it! Always appreciated!

 

[hockey20000]

great deal and our best d man tbh.. the chabot deal is gonna bite us in the ass i think though. hes not a 8m d man.

 

[Silencio]

Good deal. Thought he was hitting the market for 6-7 mil tho. Shining lights of nicer markets or something

Seeing other UFA defensemen like Klingberg hold out for the promise of a huge payday elsewhere that never materialized might have scared him off.

ZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Zub type defensemen are not getting that kind of money

5mill is the high end of what he would get IMO so this is a pretty fair deal

 

[Golden_Jet]

Nice, good term and good price.

 

[aragorn]

Bruce Garrioch nailed it!

I guess he isn't the mouth piece for the Sens & Dorion.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Yes! Made my day. Merry Christmas.

 

[HSF]

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.

Zub high end is probably 5mill? If even that. I would say he got from Ottawa what he probably would have got as a free agent. Add in flat cap and injuries and his side probably thought this is what he would get

 

[benjiv1]

Hats off to you.

Ehhh, I can’t take much of the credit.
I wouldn’t have asked if it wasn’t brought up in the pre-game.

Not exactly a scoop, but I was told it was 99% done when I asked. Like basically just waiting on paperwork, which Zub was not available to complete until after the game.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Wow. What a deal. Go Dorion.

Now add another D-man.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Wow incredible.

Such an easy Jersey to get!

Meh, he's fine! He's an 8 million dollar defenseman.

There are 9-10-11 million dollar defenseman out there. There will be 12-13 million dollar defenseman before his contract is done.

He's fine as an 8m signed long term. It's saying he's a #1 but not competing for a Norris.

 

[aragorn]

He basically got Zaitsev's deal, I wonder if they try & move on from Zaitsev for next season, they should.

 

[dumbdick]

I get to keep my username!

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Zuuuuuuuuuuuu - and I cannot emphasize this enough - uuuub.

 

[King Karl]

Arguably the most important job PD had left this season - hats off to him. Losing Zub would've torn a hole in the roster that I'm not sure we could've fixed.

 

[SensFactor]

Massive signing for the Sens....this should have been done months ago...but glad it's finally done...

 

[Masked]

Boo Boo claiming nothing is imminent.

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

Assen na yo!

Looks like this smug prick is out of favour with the organization. Why else would they let him hang himself out to dry on last night's broadcast?

Nothing imminent? Good job, Bruce. Looking forward to more embarrassingly bad takes on upcoming broadcasts.

Assen na yo!

 

[BankStreetParade]

I guess he isn't the mouth piece for the Sens & Dorion.

I think it's pretty clear who he used to get his information from.

Every 100k of AAV savings adds up.
