Zub >>> Ceci & Bouchard

Sens Samy no

Ceci yes but Bouchard is unquestionably better then Zub

Ludicrous statement/comparison. Like Oilersguy said. Bouchard is already better then Zub. Zub=Ceci. However your 1 comment says nothing about the deal in its entirety. In this deal Zub=Barrie as you stated in another post, hes the 5th highest scoring Dman in the league the last 4.3 years. With a cap hit that ranks in the 70's for Dmen.
Chabot=Nurse
Mcdavid = Norris, Batherson, Stutzle
Yamamoto +Prospects = a fair bit more then Pintos present proven value

It wasn’t a comment about the deal? Lol

You have Zub, who’s undoubtedly the second best defenceman in Ottawa, on the third pairing behind Ceci who’s not even half the player and Bouchard who’s definitely younger and full of potential but not as competent of a defender yet. I was commenting on your starting lineup. Doesn’t have anything to do with the deal.



Unquestionably is a streeeetch.

I'll start by stating, I like Bouchard, he was my 1st choice among defenceman in his draft.

Zub and Ceci are similar types of defencemen, so it's easy to see that Zub is better at this point.

Zub and Bouchard are very different types of defencemen, and it's more difficult to compare them. Zub isn't going to score at the same pace as Bouchard, but he's going to provide excellent defence. This doesn't mean Bouchard isn't a good defender, but it is the primary skill Zub brings. I personally don't see Zub as better than Bouchard, but I can see why Sens fans might.

I agree i believe Zub to be a slightly better defensive defenseman then Ceci. I stress slightly though. And i have him with Keith for just that reason. Chychrun doesn't need as much help in my opinion, so i slotted Ceci with him to try to even out the pairings somewhat
