Confirmed Trade: [SEA/SJS] Jaycob Megna for 2023 4th round pick

[Mrfenn92]

Depth never hurts

I think Smeggy will be solid for Seattle.

Uhh we never called him that here. We called him MEGAN though.

@Alwalys is the one who came up with it.

 

[Reddwit]

Megna always makes me think of that Seinfeld episode with Delores

Lol I’m not the only one.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Getting anything for Megna is a solid move by Grier. Seattle shouldn’t use him on the regular though especially come playoff time.

 

[Nolan Bombgardener]

I hate the way their names are spelled. I hope its a cultural thing

Jayson and Jaycob are brothers. Their dad's name is Jay. I suppose it was either this or Jay Megna, Jr. and Jay Megna III.

they have 6 D over 40 games, I think he's a 7th option as insurance for their playoff run

Probably and for them that’s a solid use of a 4th round pick. For the Sharks, there’s a lot more good that comes with selling your veterans where you can.

yea i like this trade all things considered

Good old Mulva.

 

[Brent Burns]

Relatively decent depth guy. Would have liked a 3rd considering it's a divisional trade but beggers can't be choosers

 

[OrrNumber4]

Contract slots are a non-issue in the vast majority of cases. The Sharks have plenty of warm bodies they could include to make a trade contract-neutral.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ya that looks about right.

 

[biturbo19]

Honestly, that seems like a lot to give up for a player of this calibre.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Good trade. 30 year old with 81 career games get's a decent pick...could be a lot worse.

 

[Discipline Daddy]

I'm torn. This is one of the depth D the Canes were targeting.

On the one hand, we lost out on a guy. On the other, the fact he went for a 4th indicates that the market isn't too crazy for defensive depth D. Some of those guys go for a 2nd which is crazy so I'm hopeful we get a similar price.

 

[Grinner]

Meh....

 

[Yatzhee]

I know that. I don’t hate the trade because it will make the Sharks a little worse, and it’s definitely funny that Karlsson keeps turning AHLers into viable NHL partners that the Sharks can trade for real assets. I dunno, it just feels arbitrary.

Maybe the Sharks are opening up a contract slot for something else? IIRC they were at 50 contracts.

This is the most likely scenario

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Honestly, that seems like a lot to give up for a player of this calibre.

I was of the same opinion, but playing on a pairing with Karlsson boosted Megna’s value just a bit.

 

[Interior Cascadian]

Nice pickup. Makes me wonder if they’re also going to pursue Klingberg to pair with him.

 

[biturbo19]

The Marc Methot effect?

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Anyone else just now learning “Jaycob Megna” is a real person who plays in the NHL?

Understandable. Most people just don't watch the Sharks.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Signed for next year too but he’s more like a 7th D so good for SJ to move him while he has value

Pretty much

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Not sure if the conditions on this trade has been mentioned yet but I found this on CF.

Good for Megan, Karlsson dragged him played his way into some value.

How about that guy in your avatar? Could probably still out-skate half the team.

Heck yeah, I would love to see Sharkie in the lineup.
