Uh oh, we might have to become less cynical and start believing in player development again

I think they had Spencer Wright listed as backup goalie. Is he a Red Wing prospect or does he belong to Toledo

I would imagine Toledo or an emergency situation. The Wings signed the other Toledo goalie so he could play in GR because we called up Ned.

Wallstedt played against GR and did save 23/26 = 88.5%
Lethemon was there at GR net, and did save 37/40 = 92.5%
So this shiny Wallstedt can't beat an ECHL goalie.

Cossa just needs a good team in front of him to play well. Call him the next Osgood!

that would be a pretty weird reaction to their mid 1st turning into an average starter
maybe a mild sigh of relief that he at least met what should be the baseline expectations for a 15th overall and the first Goalie drafted, not a home run but a successful pick all the same

Yeah but the first 10 or so games were very, very bad
Wait, so now he isnt a bust? Nice!

Stabilizing the position for a decade plus and 400 wins including two successful Cup runs? Full on streaking.
400 wins is nowhere remotely close to the baseline expectation for a 15th overall goalie pick. That's like expecting ~1500 games at nearly PPG for a forward.
Cossa just finished off the second of a back to back with a 1-0 win, 23 save shutout. Such strong performance of late that a shutout is a plateau on his 5-game and 10-game save %s.

Tyutyayev going down there made a massive difference.

Would’ve liked to see this form rewarded with some AHL time.

Trending in the right direction, re-inforcing that patience is key. Don't be surprised if he needs similar time to adjust at the AHL level and later NHL.

Just getting it in before he has a rough first 10-20 games at the AHL level and people start calling him a bust again.

It now looks what they said on the draft.
Right kind of mind to develop himself. Cossa faced some early adversity, new league, new level. Some struggle, working working working these things... and finally getting some results.
Cossa just needs a good team in front of him to play well. Call him the next Osgood!
I'd like to have that team in the future. Kind of sick for these poor Red Wings teams.

This maybe the best comment ever in HF Boards.
Cossa example, at 28-game mark everything looks just average, like he is going nowhere. But on that point, he had just learnined things. Results did start coming later.

Toledo is getting realgud there, eh? Glad to see Cossa turning it around, even if it's ECHL.
Let's farm him out to Rogle next year so he can play with whoever we pick at the draft this year!
