ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild placed forward Marcus Foligno [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/minnesota-wild/latest-news/wild-place-forward-marcus-foligno-on-injured-reserve-with-lower-body-injury] on the injured reserve (IR) on Monday and placed Tyler Pitlick on waivers when they claimed Robby Fabbri. Just two days after Wild General Manager Bill Guerin said that Foligno is a player you can't really replace at the deadline, the Wild made a trade for a Foligno-type player. On Tuesday, the Wild sent a 2028 second round pick to the Nashville Predators [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/nashville-predators] in exchange for Michael McCarron [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/minnesota-wild/latest-news/wild-acquire-michael-mccarron-from-nashville-for-second-round-pick]. Wild head coach John Hynes coached McCarron for a few seasons in Nashville alongside Yakov Trenin. The 6-foot-6 forward has five goals, seven assists, 12 points, 73 penalty minutes and 165 hits in 59 games this season for Nashville. He is making $900,000. Foligno, 34, has six goals, five assists and 151 hits in 48 games this year for Minnesota. McCarron seems to be a good fit with Foligno out.
