Rumor : The sens could get Methot back!

When Marc Methot was called by Vegas in the expansion draft, thousands of hearts were shattered in Ottawa. The huge defenseman was a fans' favorite and seeing him go away like that didn't stand so well with the Sens army.

However, according to Pierre LeBrun, there's a possibility for Pierre Dorion to get Methot back, although at a price.

Have confirmed this with Bill Daly just now: There is no blanket rule prohibiting a team from re-acquiring player lost in exp draft already

The league just has to be satisfied it wasn't pre-cooked or part of a broader transaction that is attempting to circumvent exp draft rules

The Jan. 1 rule is for players traded to other teams before the expansion draft; they can't be re-acquired prior to Jan. 1

So, for example, as it relates to Marc Methot: there is no rule prohibiting the Senators from trying to trade back for him this week...

The question now is ''What price would Vegas ask for Marc Methot?''. Needless to say, Pierre Dorion has probably ask that one already.

Stay tuned!
