Pending unrestricted free agent Michael McCarron signed a six-year contract worth $20 million with the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday.
The deal begins in the 2026-27 season and extends through the 2031-32 campaign.
Per The Athletic, McCarron has a full no-move clause in the first three years of the deal and a 15-team no-trade list along with a no-move clause that prevents him from being put on waivers in the final three seasons.
McCarron, 31, was acquired by the Wild from the Nashville Predators at the trade deadline in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft. The 6-foot-6, 232-pound forward recorded 17 points (eight goals, nine assists), 93 penalty minutes and a career-high 205 hits in 79 games last season split between the two Central Division rivals.
A first-round pick (25th overall) by Montreal in the 2013 NHL Draft, McCarron has totaled 79 points (36 goals, 43 assists) in 381 career games with the Canadiens (2015-18), Predators (2020-26) and Wild.
