The Detroit Red Wings are in the mix for a skilled Finnish defenseman and have a good chance of landing him, according to his agent.

Oliwer Kaski, a mobile, offensive-minded defenseman with good size (6-3, 187), will decide on his team shortly.

His agent, Todd Diamond, told MLive on Monday that the Red Wings “are under strong consideration and one of the finalists. Obviously, they have a very good chance. But we’ll finalize it in the next couple of days.”

Due to his age (23), Kaski can sign only a one-year, two-way entry-level contract.

He is preparing to play for Finland at the World Championship in Slovakia, which starts on Thursday.

The right-shooting Kaski had 19 goals and 51 points in 59 games for Pelicans in Finland’s SM-liiga this season. He spent the previous two seasons with HIFK Helsinki. He played at Western Michigan in 2015-16 (four goals, 12 points in 31 games) before returning to Finland after just one game the following season.

“He’s an offensive-minded defenseman, a really good shot from the point, very good on the power play,” Diamond said. “He had a breakout year this year in Finland, although he showed some signs last season. He has some ties to the state of Michigan.

“Just a late bloomer, but he’s got a lot of the tools teams are looking for these days.”

The Red Wings two years ago signed Libor Sulak, a Czech defenseman who played for Pelicans. Sulak appeared in six games for Detroit early this past season and showed some promise with his size (6-2, 207) and skating ability but spent most of year with the Grand Rapids Griffins (five goals, nine assists in 61 games).

Sulak, 25, is a restricted free agent who is contemplating a return to Europe.
