That looks like a great contract.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubbbbbbb

In all seriousness it's a good contract nothing too crazy.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Great value for Ottawa.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Great deal for the sens. Nice to see him re-sign thought he was heading to free agency.

 

[cudi]

Zuuuuuuuuuub

not the sexiest player but he's really really good in his role

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Phenomenal deal. Smiling ear to ear!!!

Could have impact akin to Dennis Seidenberg come playoff time. He's been our best defender in many stretches of our best play past 2 years.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, good deal. Really wanted him.

 

[Demon Wolf]

I hear they pay him monthly

a zubscription

 

[jfhabs]

Good signing I think. Very steady defender.

 

[Vinceh]

Damn, good deal. Really wanted him.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

Solid contract considering the trash heap behind him. Could have really bent Dorion over since he still hasn’t found even a second NHL caliber RHD, Zub and his agent really had all the leverage.

Nice to see a pending UFA buy into the project here. Very nice news to wake up to!

 

[sennysensen]

Great news! The Sens were so short on defense they couldn't afford to lose him. At least they have a big 3 to build upon! If they can add another top 4 defender to Chabot Sanderson Zub, the D will be decent next year. Need to upgrade on Hamonic, Zaitsev, and Holden. I don't mind Brannstrom on the bottom pairing, need to add a 4 and a 5/6.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Good deal! I was hoping the Sabres could have stolen him away

Agreed but a four year term means he gets another crack at FA.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Good move by the Sens, not hard to picture him getting a larger contract on the open market. Obviously he's happy and comfortable where he is.

 

[SensFactor]

Unreal signing...Zub is a beast defensively....high hockey iq dman ....he won't put up a lot of points but he's a major stabilizer on the right D side

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I expected something between 3-5yrs, I thought Zub would cash in a little bit more, though.

Thrilled with this signing. Having this situation dealt with gives us a huge amount of certainty moving forward.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Zuuuuuuuuuub

not the sexiest player but he's really really good in his role

Not gonna lie he is pretty sexy

 

[TheNewEra]

i honestly thought he could get 5.5 + on a 3-5 year deal so this is a great extension

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I have to say I always get Zub and Zaitsev mixed up and was just about to come on here wondering what the hell this signing is(thinking it was Zaitsev lol)

 

[OrangePMD]

What the heck, that is dirt cheap.

 

[KevinRedkey]

This is a steal IMO

 

[Fjordy]

Great contract

 

[OmniSens]

Wow, what a steal!
