Wild Add McCarron's Size, Faceoff Muscle

Bill Guerin pulls the trigger on Michael McCarron from Nashville, shipping out a 2028 second-rounder for the 6-foot-6 bruiser who leads the Preds in hits and owns a rock-solid faceoff game. Coach John Hynes knows him well from their time together, and Guerin loves the penalty-kill upside plus that rare right-shot presence on the fourth line. With the Central Division turning into a meat grinder behind Dallas and Colorado, Minnesota bolsters its bottom-six grit just in time for the playoff push.
