Megna has earned an NHL spot after numerous years in the AHL, Megna has been playing on a pairing with Erik Karlsson. Megna would be the cheapest pickup for Holland who's already having cap space issues with the return of Evander Kane, meaning If Holland wants anyone more pricey it's gonna have to include a team retaining salary.
