The Minnesota Wild acquired forward Pat Maroon and Maxim Cajkovic from the Minnesota Wild on Sunday in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
Tampa Bay will also retain 20 per cent of Maroon's salary.
Maroon had five goals and nine assists plus 150 PIMs in 80 games with the Lightning last season. The 35-year-old from St. Louis won the Stanley Cup in three consecutive seasons with his hometown Blues (2019) and the Lightning (2020 and 2021).
Cajkovic, who was drafted by the Lightning in 2019, has yet to play in the NHL and spent last year with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch and ECHL's Orlando Solar Bears.
