My English professors in college always told me to cite my sources, and so we’re citing a third source regarding the Edmonton Oilers’ long-term interest in Sebastian Cossa, from one Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal:
Have written in past about Oiler trade interest in ex Oil Kings G Sebastian Cossa. They wanted to draft him in 2021 but Red Wings got him at No 15. Locked into AHL role with Gibson and Talbot in Detroit this year. Wings also have high-end G prospect Augustine at Michigan State

So we’ve got a third source in addition to yesterday’s pair thereof, and three sources is usually the threshold for accuracy. I’d trust Matheson and Cam Robinson and Bob Stauffer, to be honest, so this rumor has legs in my book…
But interest is one thing, and making a deal happen with an organization that wants to see both Cossa and Trey Augustine in its goaltending system two years down the line is a very different matter.
