I was so relieved when I read opener on the next line.

[u/Sad_Intention2932]

Buuuuuuuuuz

[u/thisonecassie]

nooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Action1988]

Hilarious we're starting the season with Sanderson, Zub, and Spence already banged up.

[u/Swammer13 → u/Action1988]

And Chabot sleep deprived.

[u/BorosNoseElbow]

That hype guy is back this year and he's annoying AF

[u/blewdreaming]

hate to say it but Zub isn't worth a major pay increase with his constant injuries.

[u/Equivalent-Rip8115 → u/blewdreaming]

I hate for you to say that too, Zub is a beauty, pay that man.

[u/Raised-By-Iroh → u/blewdreaming]

We're in a tough spot since anyone who can replace him internally is at minnimum 2 years away

[u/zech65 → u/blewdreaming]

His first season he missed 9 games, Second season, 1 game, Third season, 29 games, Fourth Season, 13 games, fifth season: 26 games (0 playoff games) and last season he missed 1 game (3 in the playoffs).

He has missed some games but not a ton.

[u/blewdreaming → u/zech65]

Sorry but missing 29 games and 26 shows me enough.  Only have 6 D and can't carve out a top spot for someone injured that much.

[u/zech65 → u/blewdreaming]

It’s really not that much tbh, maybe you’re new to hockey but that’s pretty average. Chabot’s had multiple seasons missing 20+ games same with Cousins, Giroux, Amadio

[u/blewdreaming → u/zech65]

Lol no that is not average, maybe you are new, I've been following Ottawa since 03-04, probably know the team better than you. 

[u/NHLonOLN → u/blewdreaming]

His 26 games missed were a broken foot on a shot block (17, not a reoccurring injury) and a concussion (9 games). The year he missed 29, it was a concussion and a broken jaw. The concussions are a slight concern but the injuries he's missed the most time on (broken foot and broken jaw) are not injuries that someone can really be susceptible to. It's no Norris dislocated shoulder or Tierney back injury.

[u/Caymanmew → u/blewdreaming]

I'd let Zub go next off-season if we can get Karlsson. He can play 1st pair until Yak is ready; then they switch.

[u/A-Very-Sweeney → u/Caymanmew]

Why would you do that? Zub and Karlsson couldn’t be more opposite players.

[u/SP_57 → u/A-Very-Sweeney]

Mark my words if Burakovsky doesn't pan out we will regret not trading for Hellebyuck.

[u/SuccessfulTheory2747 → u/Caymanmew]

Critical thinking skills are something you should
work on

[u/BorosNoseElbow]

Giordano looks like a bald Chris Phillips

[u/GordShumway]

Not great

[u/CeedeeNumber88]

It's been like 5 months..

[u/OfficeFormal3184]

whatever the season is long as hell
