Player Discussion Artyom Zub (D) [Page 4 Senators sign from KHL]

[Micklebot]

Each fan is only temporary too my friend.

Dorion should just wait out all the mean bitter bored fans... Then he can get to business and build that dynasty without all the negative nellies criticizing his every move.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I think we know his floor at this point he can only really get better as he plays more games in this league .

His agent isn’t shy to talk about money what do you guys think it takes to secure an above average #4 right shot D. I think the only thing going in sens favour here is sample size.

3yrs 4.7m

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Don’t see anything more than a bridge deal for Zub. 2/3 years @ 2-3M.
You don’t want another Zaitsev where you have a guy signed too long for what he brings.

That's way too much. Gavrikov got 3 years x 2.8m

 

[SensFactor]

I'd say 3 years x 3.1m

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys? I know nothing about Zub. Should I pick him up in mg Fantasy league and drop Hanifin?

What kind of player is he?

He’s a defensive defenceman, I’d stay away for fantasy

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I need hits, blocks and pims.

 

[OD99]

I need hits, blocks and pims.

Not your guy

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Thanks guys! Can he produce some points though?

 

[Alfie11]

Thanks guys! Can he produce some points though?

Honestly, no. Zub likely will never be a stats guy. He's just a solid player.

Caveat, he's not seeing the most ice despite playing very well. If he gets used more, there could be more points but I'd wait until he starts getting top 4 minutes consistently.

 

[DJB]

I need hits, blocks and pims.

Seems your fantasy league is pretty deep with rosters, similar to leagues I play in.

Id look elsewhere as Zub doesn't give many of those categories, but if you are desperate, pick up Coburn if the Sens have an injury on D.

He seems to come in whenever one of the regulars goes out and he produces in those 3 categories.

Id pick up Brayden McNabb right now who is on IR and may return at some point. Near the top of the league last year in hits, PIM and BS. Maybe he is on the wire and someone forgot about him.

Cheers and good luck

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Thanks guys! It seemed like there was good some hype around Zub so I thought I’d inquire, cheers!

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I want him locked up for 2-3 years

 

[Sensinitis]

6 pts in 16 games and a +4 for the Man, the Myth, the Legend.

 

[Alfie11]

The Sens need to start leaning on this guy a little more. He's got some games under his belt, so I think it's time to push his ice time up and see just how much he can handle.

Outside of Chabot (and thus Zaitsev), Smith balances out ice for the rest of the defence. I'd like to see Smith take a minute or two from the top pair and a couple of minutes from the bottom pair and push Zub up to 20 mins a game. That likely means more Reilly too but c'est la vie.

Zub isn't flashy but he's really getting things done during his shifts. Give him more time and see just how much he can handle.

 

[God Says No]

I'd say 3 years x 3.1m

Yip, this is the range we should be in with this guy.

 

[bicboi64]

I want to see more of him, he provides s steady presence on the ice and lets the team set up their play

 

[Masked]

He's the second best blueliner on the team now. Hope he gets promoted to play with Chabot at some point.

 

[armani]

6 pts in 16 games and a +4 for the Man, the Myth, the Legend.

Add Olympic gold medalist to that list!

If they can wrap No Lube Zub to a 3 year, $10 M contract I will be happy. I like the type of player he is, his game transitioned well into the NHL as a defence first guy with sneaky offence. He has had a remarkable impact on the backend since he got included in the line up. Playing with Reilly, that's a testament.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

I was surprised where his hometown Khabarovsk was. Expected south Russia/caucus area or central/Siberia based on the name.

 

[SENATOR]

Khabarovsk is not Siberia but Manchuria. A highly contested region between Chinese, Mongols, Koreans and Japanese and since 19 century - Russians.
Japanese claim the land as the birth place of their nation, the same do Koreans. All nations teach their kids in school that this is their ancestral lands. The last conflict between Russians and Chinese over this land was in the 1960s.
In 2004 Putin for some reason cut away a few dozen square kilometers of the land near Khabarovsk and gave it to China back. Nowadays a lot of Chinese nationals live in the city. The region was like a wild wild west, but instead of cowboys, Ukrainian Cossacks settled it. Zub's ancestry is probably from that rough cut of people. They had to deal with Siberian tigers, wild bears, wolves and everything in between. Local aboriginal tribes are great hunters. Dersu Uzala - Wikipedia One of them is immortalized by the greatest Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa.

Thanks for this. Interesting as hell.

Am I mistaken or did Russia encourage Russian settlement pretty much everywhere inside their current borders that isn't the traditional Russian "core"?

After years of fending off rushing Siberian Tigers, Tyler Toffoli cutting up the middle ain't nothin'.

Zub has that mixed look. Makes sense now.
