G Sebastian Cossa (2021, 15th, DET)

[newfy]

Didnt want a goalie at 6 at all, was hoping for Cossa at 22. Trading up to get him when you have a ridiculous amount of picks is fine. Over about 3 days the wings went from weak in goal to having 2 potential studs 25 or younger. No issue with going Cossa over Wallstedt, will be interesting to see how that goes down the road though

Nothing to see here, he just had one of those; almost facing 40 shots and allowing only 1 goal type of games as his game #1 of the season

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Almost had and SO W, but Rebels scored late in the 3rd.

I’ll say, it’s nice when GeorgeLeafer likes one of your prospect because you never miss a game day summary of his performance.

.950 through 5 games is just so Cossa.

9/12 team points won (75%).

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Facing avg of 28 shots per game, but saving almost 96% of the pucks he sees.......
Now i understand its juniors, but its not like Oilers are the best team in the WHL,
Cossa is a big reason.

"La Cossa Nostra" if you're a Wing's fan lol.

Wings got a future superstar with this pick. Love that they went against the consensus and took him over Wallstedt. I think he's a clear tier above.

Cossa plays against teenagers. Wallstedt plays against pro men.

What's your point? I'm comparing them based on talent, not level of competition.

Alright, I'm sure you've seen many SHL games these two past seasons and that you're an expert at evaluating talent.

Yzerman chose Cossa over him…I’ll take his opinion over yours all day

I have seen a lot of video on both goalies. To go along with his freakish range and athletic ability, the success Cossa has had at the CHL level is completely unprecedented. Don't get me wrong, I think Wallstedt will be a solid NHL starter - I just think Cossa will be a perennial Vezina contender. Time will tell.

I don't have an opinion on the matter. It's just a fact that SHL is a much much better league than any of the CHL leagues.

To go along with his freakish range and athletic ability, the success Cossa has had at the CHL level is completely unprecedented.

The worst SHL team would beat every CHL team with double digits.

I think Yzerman is smart enough to go with his scouts’ opinion. If he was making the choice between two young goalies, that would be a big mistake.

Well his choice is the one that matters most…scouts or no scouts
