Detroit — The Red Wings made a trade with an eye toward the future Thursday when they acquired prospect Dylan Sadowy from San Jose for a 2017 third-round draft pick.
Sadowy was selected in the third round (81st overall) by San Jose in 2014 but the Sharks have been unable to sign him.
A 6-foot-1, 195-pound left wing, Sadowy scored 45 goals and had 25 assists (70 points) in 64 games with Saginaw and Barrie in the Ontario League this past season.
In eight playoff games, Sadowy had two goals and three assists (five points).
