Darren Dreger: 24-year old free agent defenseman Artyom Zub has his NHL list down to two team. The Ottawa Senators are still his top choice. Zub is expected to make a decision in the next few weeks.
Igor Eronko: “Zub doesn’t play PP cause his playmaking abilities are not great although he has a good vision. Great PK specialist, good skater, sound defensively. This year he started to pinch in a lot more and showed he has a shot (2nd in the league in goals scored between the Ds with 13)”
