The Score’s Kyle Cushman provides a list of players to “stash away” using inactive spots in fantasy hockey “keeper leagues,” and he includes Red Wings prospect Sebastian Cossa on his list:
Sebastian Cossa, G, Red Wings
Yaroslav Askarov and Jesper Wallstedt have been popular goaltenders to stash in recent years, so how about a different option?
The Red Wings have a bevy of goaltenders on the NHL roster, which will likely prevent Cossa from getting reps this season. But patience is key, especially for netminders. Ville Husso and Alex Lyon are impending free agents, which should free up a spot for Cossa by 2025.
The 6-foot-6 former first-round pick is coming off of a very strong AHL campaign and will almost certainly get a shot to take the starting gig in Detroit in the next 12-18 months. If you believe in the Yzerplan, Cossa is a worthwhile goalie to stash.
Continued; Cossa’s really developed into a strong prospect, and he’s still got some rough edges to him, but he’s doing a fine job of working with Red Wings developmental goaltending coach Phil Osaer and Griffins goalie coach Roope Koistinen to sand down those edges.
