Detroit Red Wings: Sebastian Cossa is ready for the next challenge

The Detroit Red Wings drafted their top goaltending prospect, Sebastian Cossa, with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Level Draft. In fact, general manager Steve Yzerman traded up to assure them of his services. When the trade was announced, many expected (myself included) that the goaltending-needy Red Wings were eying Jesper Wallstedt, who would eventually be selected No. 20th overall by the Minnesota Wild.

Looking back at the trade, Yzerman gave up a ton to acquire Cossa. Detroit sent the Dallas Stars the No. 23 pick in the draft, which turned out to be Wyatt Johnston.
