It’s a relatively small trade, but any draft picks the Sharks can manage to get back is a win. Megna did end up getting a good opportunity with San Jose and spent much of the season playing with Erik Karlsson. At the same time, with the addition of Jacob MacDonald and the return of Nikolai Knyzhov, the Sharks have other defenders who can take over for Megna.
San Jose needs to continue building long-term and getting a mid-round pick for a player who won’t be part of future plans makes sense.
