The Sharks once had older brother McGinn now with Colorado, so now they land the grittier, not as offensive sibling. McGinn could find his way to a regular role in San Jose, a team looking to change their identity (and their fortunes). There is some untapped upside here.

The Flyers decided to dump McGinn rather than negotiate a new contract, as he's currently a restricted free agent. Philadelphia is a bit cap-strapped at present time, so this move may have been strictly cap-motivated. They'll seek cheaper talent to fill out their bottom-six forward group.

McGinn is a bit of a dark horse in fantasy circles, though he may be limited to bottom-six forward duties on his new team. By moving McGinn, the Flyers may have opened up a spot for rookie Scott Laughton to make the team. His fantasy value goes up after this.
