Marc Methot met the Ottawa media on Tuesday and spoke about the possibility of partnering with Norris Trophy-winning defenseman Erik Karlsson next season. "You guys (media) aren't the first to bring that up, obviously," he said. "If I played with Karlsson, I would probably just give him the puck most of the time. He's an exceptional defenseman. Right now, I have no control over that. I don't know what's going to happen. I can control what I can on the ice. I can prepare myself. I'm prepared for that role. I've played a similar role before. But right now, that's up to management and coaches and we'll see how things work out at training camp." The defensive-minded blueliner would seemingly be a good fit alongside the offensive-minded Karlsson.
