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

[Golden_Jet]

Tbf wasn’t around the time Sanderson missed a peactice because of a “maintenance day”.

Regardless, he’s played the best hockey of his career with Zub.

He has, just not this year.

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

He has, just not this year.

Zub has only played 11 games, so it's probably not time to panic yet.

That’s fair, but not sure why you thought there was panic, I was just stating they haven’t been good this year together,

 

[ottawagm]

He didn't look right when he came back from his concussion. Hopefully he comes back healthy with the time off from his foot.

 

[Micklebot]

I hope Zub is actually ready.

I’d rather he miss more games than get hurt yet again in a week or two.

Hes been out for about 6 weeks with an injury with an expected return of 4-6 weeks, doesn't seem like we are rushing him back.

L: Chabot, Sanderson, Kleven,
R: Zub, Jensen, Hamonic, JBD, Mantipalo, Yakemchuk

RD? We don't have any options on the left. What do?

Sebrango has looked alright as a callup option. I thought he had a strong camp, and has carried that over to belleville.

 

[Cosmix]

Has there been any announcement by the team on Zub recently?

Thank you Micklebot.

The Zub’s spent New Year’s at the Dadanov’s in Dallas. Hopefully having the wife and kid at the game means he’s playing.

Sorry.
That (panic) was directed to people who want to trade him.

Well tbf there is a good chance he could be traded in the off season, as he gets hurt too often.

This logic doesn't make a lot of sense to me, why are other teams trading for him if he gets hurt too often? I could see the argument that there's a good chance we shop him around but we need a top 4 RHD if we trade him, and whatever player we are looking at, the team we try to move Zub to would probably just look at too.

Nice to see the team focused on winning. Gives Forsberg a bit more time and sends a message. I'm sure Forsberg will play tomorrow.

 

[Senscore]

Merilainen

Probably best to give Forsberg St. Louis instead of Dallas

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Not enough time off for Timmy I guess.

update

 

[Adrianopolous]

My guy is finally back

 

[Xspyrit]

Hopefully Zub can get back at his previous level soon, this is the team strength IMO

Chabot - Jensen
Sanderson - Zub
Kleven - JBD
Matinpalo

But unfortunately the coaching staff don't see it like that yet.

I hope we go heavy on skilled forwards at the draft

 

[DueDiligence]

He didn't look right when he came back from his concussion. Hopefully he comes back healthy with the time off from his foot.

The real benefit of his foot injury was giving his brain 6 weeks more to heal from the concussion symptoms.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Not enough time off for Timmy I guess.

Zub hasn't played 6 weeks. He needs a game or 2 to ease back into playing top minutes with Sandy.

100x this.

Let Zub ease in and not get injured again

 

[Senscore]

If things go well in the first I'm sure they can just plug Zub in with Sanderson as needed.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Zub hasn't played 6 weeks. He needs a game or 2 to ease back into playing top minutes with Sandy.

probably but also on the road this could help strengthen the 3rd pair . The entire lineup looks like a road lineup.

To me its a bonus getting Zub back.

He may steal some shifts from Hamonic later in the game

 

[Back in Black]

Welcome back Zub!
