Megna inked a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Megna featured in just eight regular-season contests for the Panthers this past year in which he failed to register a point. The 32-year-old blueliner figures to be a depth piece for Vegas, which will probably result in him playing limited minutes or even spending time in the minors.

Megna was summoned from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, according to Alex Baumgartner of Five Reasons Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Megna has two goals, 16 points and 23 PIM over 64 outings with Charlotte in 2024-25. Tobias Bjornfot was sent to the minors in a corresponding move, while Aaron Ekblad (suspension) and Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) aren't expected to be available Wednesday versus Toronto. That leaves Florida with six active defensemen, including Megna, so he should make his NHL season debut against the Maple Leafs.

Megna was placed on waivers Thursday, per PuckPedia.

EDGE Analysis

Megna recorded two assists, 22 PIM, 60 hits and 87 blocks across 44 regular-season contests with Chicago in 2023-24. It's not surprising that the 31-year-old appears to have not made the Panthers' Opening Night roster, but if he clears waivers, Florida might still promote him during the campaign as an injury replacement. The 31-year-old is a veteran of 185 career NHL outings, collecting four goals, 27 points and 73 PIM.

Megna signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Megna had two assists, 22 PIM, 28 shots, 60 hits and 87 blocks in 44 appearances with Chicago in 2023-24. He'll enter the Panthers' training camp with a chance of making the team, but Florida's blue line is strong enough to likely result in Megna instead beginning the campaign in the AHL.

Megna recorded an assist against the Rangers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Megna was playing in his first NHL game of the season while also making his Blackhawks debut. The Florida native has only reached the 10-point threshold once in his career, so fantasy players shouldn't expect him to rack up a ton of points with Chicago.

Megna was claimed off waivers by Chicago from Seattle on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Megna hasn't gotten into a single game with the Kraken this season, but he has a goal in two contests with AHL Coachella Valley. During the 2022-23 campaign, Megna recorded a goal and 12 points in 54 outings between San Jose and Seattle. The 31-year-old defenseman might see work on Chicago's third pairing, but he'll probably spend most of his time with the Blackhawks serving as a healthy scratch.

Megna was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Coachella Valley.

EDGE Analysis

Megna had one goal in two AHL outings during a conditioning stint in early December. In 54 contests between the Sharks and Kraken during the 2022-23 campaign, he picked up 12 points, 56 shots on goal, 66 blocked shots and 86 hits. Megna hasn't seen any NHL action this season.

Megna was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Megna collected one goal in two games during his minor-league stint. He hasn't seen any playing time with the Kraken yet this season.

Megna was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday for a conditioning assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Megna hasn't played at all in 2023-24, so this move will allow him to shake off the rust. He had a goad, 12 points, 86 hits and 66 blocks in 54 contests between San Jose and Seattle last season.

Megna has been scratched for eight straight games to begin 2023-24.

EDGE Analysis

With the Kraken healthy on defense, there hasn't been a chance for Megna to step into the lineup yet. The 30-year-old is in a tough position, as he may not even be the next man up -- if the Kraken have enough warning time, they may choose to insert a call-up from AHL Coachella Valley over Megna when injuries arise.
