From Sean Shapiro’s must-read Substack comes this about Sebastian Cossa, the Red Wings prospect who was traded to the Utah Mammoth for the 23rd overall pick (JP Hurlbert) in the 2026 NHL Draft:
The Cossa saga is interesting, he always had the physical tools, but seemed to lack the mental makeup and demeanor that Detroit was looking for. The Red Wings essentially tried to tear him down and build him back up, and even after doing that they didn’t like the end product, especially compared to Trey Augustine.
Nothing new to report on the Dylan Larkin front, although it will be interesting today when Steve Yzerman addressed the media after Day 2 of the NHL Draft, which will be his first public comments since the trade reports surfaced two weeks ago.
