  • Red Wings' Kyle Wood: Traded to Detroit

    The Hurricanes traded Wood to the Red Wings in exchange for Oliwer Kaski on Thursday.

    Wood has yet to crack the lineup for an NHL contest since being selected by Colorado in the third round of the 2014 draft, so he's trending towards being a career AHLer at this point. The 23-year-old blueliner will report to AHL Grand Rapids.

  • Hurricanes' Kyle Wood: Waived for assignment

    The Devils waived Wood for the purpose of assignment to AHL Binghamton on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

    Wood spent last year with AHL San Jose, recording 35 points and 47 PIM in 68 games. The 23-year-old was a long shot to make the big club's roster anyway after the addition of Jake Gardiner, but he could be recalled if the Hurricanes' blue line runs into the injury bug.

  • Hurricanes' Kyle Wood: Traded to Carolina

    The Sharks traded Wood to the Hurricanes in exchange for Trevor Carrick on Tuesday.

    Wood spent the entirety of 2018-19 campaign with AHL San Jose, notching six goals and 35 points in 68 games. That's pretty impressive production for a towering 6-foot-7 blueliner, so he may still be capable of carving out an NHL gig in the future. For now, he'll have to settle for a prominent role with AHL Charlotte.

  • Sharks' Kyle Wood: Lands one-year extension

    Wood re-signed with the Sharks on a one-year, two-way contract with San Jose on Thursday which will pay him $700,000 at the NHL level, CapFriendly reports.

    Drafted by the Avalanche in the third round of the 2014 NHL Draft, Wood played for AHL San Jose last year. In 68 contests, the defenseman tallied six goals and 29 helpers. Given the depth of the Sharks' blue line, the 23-year-old may be hard pressed to make an NHL appearance in 2019-20.

  • Sharks' Kyle Wood: Receives qualifying offer

    The Sharks extended Wood a qualifying offer Tuesday.

    Wood spent the entirety of the 2018-19 season in the minors, picking up six goals and 35 points in 68 contests. All signs point to the 23-year-old once again sticking with AHL San Jose during the upcoming campaign.

  • Sharks' Kyle Wood: Dealt to San Jose

    The Coyotes traded Wood to the Sharks in exchange for Adam Helewka on Thursday.

    Wood has spent the last two campaigns with AHL Tucson, totaling 17 goals and 62 points in 117 contests. The 2014 third-round pick will likely get an opportunity to compete for the Sharks' seventh defenseman spot in training camp, but he won't have enough of an impact in 2018-19 to establish himself as a viable fantasy option.

  • Coyotes' Kyle Wood: Possible replacement for Chychrun

    Wood is an option for the Coyotes, who have lost highly touted defenseman Jakob Chychrun to a knee injury for an indefinite period of time, Arizona Sports reports.

    The 'Yotes signed Wood to a three-year, entry-level contract this past March. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, he's an imposing presence from the back line, and is fresh off a season with the AHL's Roadrunners that included 43 points (14 goals, 29 assists) in 68 games. However, he turned in a minus-23 rating that same year, suggesting that his own-zone play needs refining. For now, fantasy owners should at least consider the 2014 third-round pick -- originally drafted by the Avalanche -- as a potential keeper option.

  • Coyotes' Kyle Wood: Agrees to contract with Arizona

    Wood signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday.

    Wood was included as part of a deadline day trade in which Arizona sent Mikkel Boedker to Colorado. A product of the OHL, the blueliner has racked up 39 points in 49 games with North Bay this season.

  • Coyotes' Kyle Wood: Traded by Colorado

    Wood was sent to the Coyotes along with Alex Tanguay and Conner Bleackley on Monday for Mikkel Boedker, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    A young prospect, Wood is currently playing in the Ontario Hockey League with the North Bay Battalion. The defenseman is having an outstanding season, as he's logged eight goals and 27 assists in 40 contests. While many will look at the 19-year-old as a toss in piece of a bigger trade, he has the potential to be a solid offensively minded blueliner for Arizona in the future.
