The Dallas Stars continued their offseason upgrades, this time via trade as they acquired defenseman Marc Methot from the Las Vegas Golden Knights for a 2020 second-round pick and goalie Dylan Ferguson, the seventh-round pick from this year’s draft.
Methot played alongside defensive wunderkind Erik Karlsson with the Ottawa Senators before being selected by Las Vegas in the expansion draft, and the pairing was a boon to both of them. Karlsson is one of the most dangerous offensive defensemen in the NHL, and Methot was a steady presence beside him.
