from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
When the Ottawa Senators signed Bobby Ryan to a long-term extension earlier this month, it removed what would have been the team’s biggest distraction in terms of a negative, nagging story line.
But another loose end remains. Top-four blueliner Marc Methot is an unrestricted free agent after the season and contract talks have not produced an extension to this point.
The Senators made a contract offer two weeks ago but to no avail. It’s believed talks will resume this week.
What’s clear is this: the Senators front office does not want this to drag on all season into the trade deadline.
more plus some tanking talk...
