When it comes to intimidating defensemen, many teams dreaded playing against Marc Methot. The former NHL player carved out his career by relentlessly shutting down the opposition's top players.
Now retired, Methot has been transitioning to a role off the ice, lately working with TSN Hockey.

Having been held scoreless in the second round series against the Florida Panthers, it might honestly make the most sense to consider trading Matthews, according to Methot.
