Hearing that VGK have selected Marc Methot in the expansion draft... whether or not he gets flipped over the next few days.

****.

Beyond his value to the team, he seems like a really good teammate.

Loved Methot, i think he is a great Dman and was a soldier for us. And will always be remembered as a Senator

But we have 3 great NHL ready (or close to it) LHDs with top 4 upside, I think we can survive this blow.

Really sad to see him go but as long as we're proactive these next two off-seasons I won't mind. As much as this is a loss, it really is a potential opportunity.

sucks but not as big a loss as people may think. If he gets flipped to TOR or MTL, I'll be very disappointed.

I would be very, very surprised if they picked Methot with the intention to trade him unless they knew for a fact there was a deal there. At the very least, they must have an acceptable deal to a team not on his list just in case he refuses to waive for a team that is offering more.

They probably wait until the deadline next season to trade him.

I wonder if his list had to be known by LV.

Best Partner Karlsson's ever had, which doesnt say a whole lot considering his previous partners but it will be interesting to see how he does on his new team ne it Vegas or whatever team he might get flipped for. He came here a good bottom pairing, low end #4 and leaves a solid top 4 defenceman who is likely a top 60 defenceman in the league defensively.

If Vegas flips him immediately I'm going to be pretty pissed. That wasn't how the expansion process was supposed to work IMO.

Seriously they should have to keep any player for at least 1 season since he can't be reacquired by us for that long..

First off, yes it absolutely sucks to see him go. However... we now how extra $$ to hopefully upgrade our top 6 forwards. Hopefully Phaneuf plays with Karlsson and we can try to revive the corpse of Ceci.

As for those worried about Methot going to the Leafs or Habs, don't sweat it, they don't have a #65 for Methot to play with.

This team will be perfectly fine without Methot.

Except they can't have a 30-team NHL roster. Too many NHL players would be forced into the AHL that way. Chicago would win the Calder Cup.

We need to find another vet on D for this season. one not worth 5 mill though.
