Rossi hopes to close out a disappointing 2025-26 campaign marred with injury on a healthy high note, while also looking ahead to the 2030 Winter Olympics.

As the Minnesota Wild approached this trade deadline, one of their clearest areas that could use an upgrade was at center, especially after shipping out Marco Rossi to acquire defenseman Quinn Hughes earlier in the season.

While McCarron is a rental pickup on an expiring contract with a salary of $900,000, Minnesota has been linked to New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck, who is signed for three more seasons after this one at $5.625 million.

The Minnesota Wild appear to be moving aggressively ahead of the NHL trade deadline, with the hopes of picking up more talent.

Marco Rossi scored with 1:25 remaining in overtime and the visiting Minnesota Wild defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Saturday in both teams' return from the 4 Nations Face-Off break.
