Methot apparently has been taken by the Golden Knights, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Methot figures to headline Vegas' defensive core as its premier shut down defenseman. In terms of fantasy value, owners probably shouldn't expect much more production than the 12 points he put up last season, but fans in Ottawa will be lamenting his loss for a while. The 32-year-old averaged 2:04 of ice time shorthanded and will probably assume a similar role for new coach Gerard Gallant.
