Pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Marc Methot wanted to get an extension in place before the Ottawa Senators reported to training camp this week, but it appears the two sides will remain at least $500,000 apart.
Methot is entering the final season of his four-year, $12-million pact signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2011.
