The Wings dealt goaltender Sebastian Cossa, a former first-round pick, to Utah for the 23rd pick in the first-round.
The Wings quickly selected winger JP Hurlbert with that 23rd pick.
Hurlbert (6-foot, 190-pound) scored 42 goals in Kamloops of the Western Hockey League, leading all rookies in the WHL.
A Dallas native, Hurlbert will play college hockey at Michigan this fall. Hurlbert will be the fourth generation of his family to attend Michigan.
Cossa, 23, had stretches of outstanding hockey in the minor leagues in Grand Rapids, but never could make the jump to the Wings.
Cossa had a great first half this season, but then slumped down the stretch and saw Michal Postava get the starts in the playoffs.
