McCarron was traded from the Predators to the Wild in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

McCarron was a late scratch from Nashville's lineup ahead of Tuesday's game prior to the trade being announced. The 30-year-old forward has five goals, 12 points, 86 shots on net, 165 hits and 65 blocked shots across 59 games this season. The 6-foot-6 center will bolster Minnesota's depth up the middle of the ice and will provide physicality from a role anywhere in the Wild's bottom nine. With the Wild making a push towards the top of the Central Division, McCarron is in line to benefit from the team's lethal offense, giving him a slight boost in fantasy formats.
