Introduction
François Méthot (born April 26, 1978, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is an ice hockey centre currently an unrestricted free agent who last played for the EHC München in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. He was the Buffalo Sabres' third pick, 54th overall, in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft from the Shawinigan Cataractes, but never played a game in the NHL.
He played five seasons with the Rochester Americans and one with the Portland Pirates, both of the American Hockey League, before moving to Germany. He played one season each for the Augsburger Panther and the Nuremberg Ice Tigers before going to Mannheim.
On May 24, 2011, Methot left Mannheim after five seasons and signed a one-year contract with fellow DEL team, Krefeld Pinguine.
