Zub is Ottawa's top RHD. ZAR would definitely be useful, but not worth adding a 3rd, and a middling LHD prospect is the last thing Ottawa needs, especially in return for the only Dman Ottawa has capable of being a real partner for Thomas Chabot. The Sens long term LHD outlook currently consists of Chabot, Sanderson, Mete, Brannstrom and Kleven. By comparison, their long-term RHD is a lot more questionable without Zub, with Bernard-Docker being the only one with projectable top 4 upside. After him it's Thomson who is promising, but still very raw, and then Maxence Guennette and Ben Roger who look more like bottom pair guys at this stage.
