Wild deal Maroon to Bruins

The Minnesota Wild traded forward Pat Maroon to the Boston Bruins for AHL forward Luke Toporowski and a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick, Maroon's former club announced.

Maroon underwent back surgery in early February but has recently resumed skating.

He's a pending unrestricted free agent whose cap hit is $800,000, according to CapFriendly. Maroon had a 16-team trade list.

The veteran, who'll turn 36 on April 24, won the Stanley Cup in three straight seasons. He helped his hometown St. Louis Blues win it all in 2019 and was then part of the Tampa Bay Lightning's back-to-back championship squads in the two subsequent campaigns.

Maroon was playing his first season with the Wild, who acquired him in a trade with the Lightning last July.
