Methot headed to Dallas

The Dallas Stars have acquired veteran defenceman Marc Methot in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights. Dallas sent goaltending prospect Dylan Ferguson and a 2020 secondround pick to Vegas. The National Hockey League teams announced the deal less than a week after the Golden Knights took Methot in the expansion draft from the Ottawa Senators. Methot, 32, has two years left on his contract at a salary-cap hit of $4.9 million. He has 120 points in 579 games over 11 seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets and Senators. The Stars took Ferguson in the seventh round, 194th overall, in the draft last weekend.
