Thank you, very clear explanation!Group VI unrestricted free agency is designed to give a better chance to players stuck on a deep roster. They must be 25+, have at least 3 pro seasons but fewer than 80 NHL games played. Megna will be 25 with 3 pro seasons next summer, and currently has 38 games. If he spends half the season in Pittsburgh he won't qualify for group VI anymore and be restricted again. On the other hand he will be waiver-eligible once he hits 22 games this year. Meaning we'd have to waive him first before we could send him down to WBS mid-season. So either he really makes the team, and we keep him as RFA. Or he doesn't make the jump and is likely lost on either waivers or next summer in free agency. Works for me.
GoBots FTW!!!
Like the signing, will probably be our 13th forward. Liked how he crashed the net against Columbus, would have liked seeing more of that but he was Bylsma'd for looking good.
I'd say there's pretty much no chance he's the 13th forward. He will either be getting consistent minutes with the big Pens or the Baby Pens. They aren't going to have him sit in the press box.
A WBS mainstay.
Then he's gone to WBS IMO.
Too small of a face

@BeauBennett19 that's probably the 5th meanest thing you've ever said to me.

I really like Megna, he's fast, has decent size, goes to the net and he's not comically stonehanded. How late he came to hockey intrigues me, if only he could do something about his face. I also just enjoy watching him skate.
I wonder if Bennett calls him 'peanut' because of his tiny face.
