G Sebastian Cossa (2021, 15th, DET)

[Go Wings]

lmao Detroit takes Edvinsson over Eklund and then Cossa over Wallstedt.

What a disaster draft. Couldn't imagine being a Wings fan tonight.

I bet you thought the Seider pick was garbage too at the time. Piss off Yzerman knows what he is doing.

 

[Ishad]

Bested

 

[landy92mack29]

GREAT pick.. I've been extremely high on him

Gonna be unreal

yup Cossa is so damn impressive and I would've considered him top 5 along with Wallstedt, can't go wrong with either imo. Also not a fan of this years skaters but still haha

I liked Seider. He was 13 on my board.

And I liked Berggren and Raymond a lot too.

But Yzerman dropped the ball tonight.

 

[Tetsuo]

LOL Not happening, He wont get past either Edmonton or Detroit. And that's if he even fall that far which i don't think he will.

Good call.

The Red Wings make picks, not Yzerman.

Huge swings for us. Neither are my preferred picks but both were picked in the right range.

Dreaming of Cossa falling to #26. Wings can roll the Twins tandem of Nedeljkovic/Cossa.

Fixed

Ya I have never seen Wallstedt play but I always said that if he's ranked higher than Cossa, then he must be unbelievable.. cause Cossa is so damn good.

Obviously there is something that must be rubbing teams the wrong way with Wallstedt... I know one poster said previously that he has had some serious injury problems.. so maybe that??

13th on your board Detroit took him at 6th.

Yzerman and scouts did fine.

No idea on his medicals. But, goalies and lower-body injuries scare teams to death, especially without an in-depth combine/in-person visits.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

YES YES YES I'm so excited for memeing this pick into reality.

This has literally made my day.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I am disappointed in this pick. The scouting reports on Cossa and Edvinsson and the game video I've watched on them both had concerning flaws.

Really hoping I'm wrong but Yzerman picked the two guys I had pegged as being the biggest bust risks in the top-30.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

For a team that isn’t that great at the goalie position, I wouldn’t quibble about a few spots too high. If you think he’s going to be a starting goalie, you pick him at 15.

As long as it’s not Carey Price, because that would go against your agenda with Lundqvist.

Carey Price can barely post a .900 SV%. This guy was .941 this season.

Lol rich coming from a Blackhawks fan

I'm desperate right now. Let me have this.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

A number of draft sites had Cossa ranked above Wallstedt. I don’t get why Cossa going ahead of him is a big deal.

Cossa had outstanding numbers, is very talented, 6’6, calm, hard working, athletic. He should be a high pick and he was.

Yzerman knows what he is doing.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I am disappointed in this pick. The scouting reports on Cossa and Edvinsson and the game video I've watched on them both had concerning flaws.

Really hoping I'm wrong but Yzerman picked the two guys I had pegged as being the biggest bust risks in the top-30.

Every player that you’ll draft will have concerning flaws. How is Beniers going to create offense consistently? Will Eklund be able to play bigger than his size effectively? Is Guenther anything more than a shooter? Will Hughes ever learn what defense is? Does Wallstedt have more development left? Will Johnson’s high skill/risk style of offense translate? And so on.

There are concerns on so many players that you can convince yourself that any pick might be a questionable one. Don’t fall into that trap

 

[scoutman1]

Personally myself I liked Wellstedt more than Cossa....both are excellent goalies and though I think Yzerman did excellent taking Cossa and getting a very good goalie for the future, I think Wellstedt is going to be in the top 5 of the league.

Pretty funny, Coming from a fan who's team just grossly overpaid for Seth Jones 8 x $9,500,000 is totally

Dreaming of Cossa falling to #26. Canes can roll the Twins tandem of Nedeljkovic/Cossa.

Oh my goodness. I'm only reading this today. I'm sorry, my friend.

Oh my goodness. I'm only reading this today. I'm sorry, my friend.

I'm still hoping that the Wings can sign Hamilton just to rub salt to the wound.

love how this aged

 

[GoldiFox]

Oh my goodness. I'm only reading this today. I'm sorry, my friend.

It was a joke about Nedeljkovic being short and Cossa being tall. Personally I liked Wallstedt as the better goalie. Yall ever seen Twins?

I'm still hoping that the Wings can sign Hamilton just to rub salt to the wound.

Just as Buffalo is rubbing salt in Carolina's wounds with Skinner. And St. Louis with Faulk. Oh, no, please stop it hurts too bad not having these overpaid secondary roster pieces.

If Carolina is letting an UFA walk then buyer beware. The history is ugly.
