Zub is a fantastic player. Sure, there was a bit of a dark cloud over his head due to the DJ Dorion era mess but look at this :

Among 206 D-men with at least 300 minutes 5 on 5 :

45th in CA/60
29th in CF%
91st in SA/60
42nd in SF%
61st in xGA/60
32nd in xGF%

Sure, it's not at the top but considering he plays a more defensive role than many of the D-men ahead... Now look at this :

6th in primary assists/60
6th in Points/60
Top-50 PPG among D-men

So to follow up on my post...

Since January 11th, among 189 D-men with at least 75 mins at ES, Zub ranks :

- 1st in CF% (8th in CF/60, 5th in CA/60)
- 3rd in SF% (6th in SF/60, 12th in SA/60)
- 1st in xGF% (14th in xGF/60, 3rd in xGA/60)

He's being ELITE right now. Sanderson too, they have probably been the best pair in the NHL of the last 3 weeks.

Dude is turning into glass.


Nah b it’s an LBI from scoring (away from the ice) lol.

I think it’s a lingering issue that’s bothering him, hope it gets sorted as he is such an important piece on the backend. Keeps Hammer away, so it’s a double win when he gets back.

Do we over rate Zub in this market?

Is he a legit top 4 ?

Or

Are we overvaluing him because we watch Sens so much , Is he more suited for 5-6 slot on a stanley cup contender?

Let's hear what your thoughts are

I think he’s very clearly a top 4 D. Maybe not top pairing on a contender, but he doesn’t belong on a third pairing.

This team would be utterly lost without him.

A lot of players on this team make more than Zub but he is more valuable than most of them.
