Jaycob Megna Assigned To The AHL

December 7, 2023 at 6:59 pm CDT | by Josh Cybulski 2 Comments

The Seattle Kraken have announced that they are sending defenseman Jaycob Megna to the Coachella Valley Firebirds of the AHL for a conditioning assignment. The 30-year-old has yet to play this season and should have an opportunity to crack the lineup with the Firebirds to try and get back into game shape.

Megna is one of the few NHLers to come from the state of Florida and has been a journeyman throughout most of his career. A seventh-round pick in 2012, Megna has dressed in 368 career AHL games over parts of nine seasons. He signed his first one-way NHL contract with the San Jose Sharks in May of 2022 and is in the final season of that deal making the league minimum of $775K this year.

Seattle traded a fourth-round pick for Megna back in February of this year and he dressed in six games down the stretch, tallying zero points. He didn’t suit up in the playoffs and hasn’t played since the end of last season.

Megna’s likelihood of getting into the Kraken lineup took a hit earlier this week when the team called up prospect Ryker Evans from the Firebirds. Evans has a very different skill set than that of Megna and with the Kraken struggling to generate offense from their defense core it’s no surprise that they opted to give Evans a shot over Megna. Megna has just 89 career AHL points thus far in his career, while Evans has played just 89 AHL games in his short career and has eight goals and 44 assists during that time.

Megna will be back with Seattle in the not-too-distant future, and it will be interesting to see if he can get regular usage at the NHL level. While he is surely happy to be collecting an NHL paycheck, he probably hasn’t enjoyed the lack of playing time this season.

    The uptick in news is a result of their struggles as they are looking for a formula that works. Be patient, the kids are coming. But it’s going to be a tough year this year.
