Red Wings acquire defenseman Kyle Wood from Hurricanes for Oliwer Kaski

Detroit — The Red Wings made a move for a defenseman, except it was at the minor-league level.

The Wings traded defenseman Oliwer Kaski, the undrafted European free agent who signed last spring, to Carolina for defenseman Kyle Wood.

Now, whether Wood, a 6-foot-7, 236-pound offensive defenseman, arrives in Detroit soon remains to be seen.

Wood, 23, originally was a 2014 third-round draft pick of Colorado.
