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

[Wallet Inspector]

At least Zub gets about 2 weeks to heal up.

If you show a little faith in JBD's underlying metrics and the notion that he can take the next step, him playing with Chabot starts to sound just fine as a stop gap.

The smallest thing pushes some people so deep into the cave of negativity around here.

I agree.

I don't fault anyone cuz we all surely have some PTSD with how rough the last couple seasons were, but I think it's not quite the panic some do.

Ullmark on the other hand, ya that would concern me. He's the biggest upgrade we got this year and we need him big time.

Ughhh. My hot take is that an injury to Zub is a top 3 worst injury this team could have.

Jensen
Hamonic
JBD

on the right side is nightmare fuel for a coach. And fans.

Fingers crossed that it's just a day to day thing.

Atleast its better than last year. They have Jensen, Addison and Yakemchuk on top of JBD and Hamonic. Last year they literally had no one.

Completely ignoring the fact they have Jensen and Addison at their disposal. Which they didnt have last year and the emergency of a stop gap in Yakemchuk until Zub is healthy.

Exactly.

This team's depth and makeup is 180 degrees from what it was last year. It is nothing shy of remarkable how Staios has retooled this team. Every team has holes on paper to start the season. If JBD or Addison sliding into the #2 RD spot for a handful of games is our biggest hole that is more indicative of how good we're looking than bad.

If Zub is out ofr any amount of time, it's JBD's chance to prove he's a regular NHLer. We'd be so set if he can become a solid 2RD

Are JBD’s underlying metrics actually good? Serious question as I am not someone who regularly looks at such things so I have no idea what they are for him.

I'll try to find it later but a couple weeks ago something was posted about him having some shockingly high advanced stats. Don't recall which ones specifically and they aren't in the JBD thread but will try to back up later.

Zub is great. He is my favourite defenceman. I like how he plays defence and enjoy watching the little things he does. In someways I think he is our best defenceman.
We are lucky to have him.

Advanced stats last season had Sanderson Zub as the 10th best D pairing in the NHL.

 

[SensontheRush]

Can't let go of this guy. If the Redden-Chara situation comes up again between him and Chabot, I hope we learned our lesson (though hopefully we can keep both and Chabot turns himself around).

Zub is def not a player you overpay for imo

Such an old school defenceman.

Uses his high hockey IQ not to look flashy but to be a steady stabilizing presence.

Wayyy more valuable than Chabot.

The team doesn't work without Zub and good luck getting a team to give you their Zub.
