Defenseman Marc Methot signed a four-year, $19.6 million contract extension Monday with the Ottawa Senators.

Methot's contract includes a modified 10-team no-trade clause, the Senators announced via Twitter.

Yeah, glad he's staying. And it sounds like a pretty reasonable deal to me.

Top-4 is set now:

Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Ceci

With the way Cowen and Ceci have developed this year, that's a very capable top-4. I'd expect Cowen and Methot to trade places in a couple years.

Now we just need a C1 and LW1..

Good value.

Melnyk has been saying all along he plans on spending his money through re-signing guys rather than blowing it on "top" free agents (David Clarkson?). So far he's backing that all up, giving Anderson, Methot, Ryan and MacArthur raises.

Melnyk has the chance to put his money where his mouth is with Hoffman, Stone, Mika, Chiasson, and Pageau this summer. Keep it up.

Yikes, I never thought of that.

Thank goodness we locked up Methot. I thought for sure he was a goner after that Orpik contract. Methot deserves Orpik money, and I knew we wouldn't be able to give it to him. Good thing he took a hometown discount.
