Utah Mammoth Acquire Sebastian Cossa From Red Wings

For Utah, the move signals a commitment to building around a long-term franchise goaltender rather than selecting another prospect with the 23rd overall pick. At just 23 years old, Cossa possesses elite size, athleticism, and the upside to become a true No. 1 goaltender at the NHL level.

Meanwhile, Detroit adds another first-round selection in a deep 2026 draft, giving the organization additional flexibility to add young talent or potentially use the pick in another transaction.

The deal is one of the biggest draft-day moves so far and could have a lasting impact on both franchises depending on Cossa’s development in Utah.
