On February 5, 2023, the Sharks traded Megna to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2023 fourth-round selection.[19] He was used sparingly with the Kraken for the remainder of the season, appearing scoreless through just six regular season games.

Entering the final season under contract with the Kraken in 2023–24, Megna remained on the roster by continuing as a healthy scratch. On December 7, 2023, Megna was assigned on a conditioning stint to AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, and made two appearances before returning to the Kraken.[21] Still to feature in a game with the Kraken, Megna was later claimed off waivers by the Chicago Blackhawks on January 3, 2024.[22] He made his season and Blackhawks debut, registering an assist, in a 4–1 defeat to the New York Rangers on January 5, 2024.[23] He remained with the Blackhawks for the remainder of the season, notching two assists through 44 appearances.[24]
