With the 15th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the Detroit Red Wings went with WHL goaltender Sebastian Cossa of the Edmonton Oil Kings, a towering figure who many analysts believe could fit the profile of a franchise goalie of the future.
And Cossa’s time within the organization is now officially underway, as he and the Red Wings have come to terms on a 3-year entry level contract agreement:

The 6’6, 212 lb. goaltender posted a WHL best .941 save percentage with the Edmonton Oil Kings, and was a finalist for the WHL goaltender of the year award after having won 12 consecutive games to begin the season. Oh, and he also recorded a shutout in his first WHL game in 2019.
