The Dallas Stars have acquired veteran defenseman Marc Methot in a trade with the Vegas Golden Knights.
Dallas sent goaltending prospect Dylan Ferguson and a 2020 second-round pick to Vegas. The teams announced the deal Monday, less than a week since 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.
Methot, 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, was Erik Karlsson’s defense partner in Ottawa and had 12 assists in 68 games last season.
