TRADE - Seattle Kraken Acquire 30-Year Old Defenseman from San Jose

The Seattle Kraken have acquired defenseman Jaycob Megna from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 4th round pick.


Megna, 30, carries a $762,500 cap hit for one more season after the present one. In 135 NHL games - with Anaheim and San Jose, Megna has 25 points and 51 PIMs.

Per HockeyDB, Megna was selected with the second-to-last pick of the 2012 draft. The 6'6'', 220lb left-shot defenseman grants Seattle defensive depth while giving San Jose their 10th pick in this summer's draft, which promises to be plentiful.



Seattle currently ranks 14th in the NHL in goals-against and 5th in goals-for. If there was a place to add, it was probably defensive depth.
