The Philadelphia Flyers should be on the hunt for another goalie this off-season. Samuel Ersson struggled this campaign as the team’s backup, so it would not hurt for the Flyers to bring in some more competition.
When looking at trade candidates around the NHL, Detroit Red Wings goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa stands out as a very fascinating potential option.

Questions about Cossa’s future in Detroit have been coming up now that the Red Wings’ season is over. This is mainly because the Red Wings have two other exciting goalie prospects in Michal Postava and Trey Augustine. If the Red Wings do make him available, the Flyers would be wise to kick tires on the 23-year-old goalie.
While Cossa has just one NHL appearance on his resume, he still has the potential to blossom into a very good goaltender. There is a reason why he was selected by the Red Wings with the 15th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, after all.
Cossa spent all of this in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins and had a strong campaign. In 39 games with the AHL club this season, the 6-foot-7 goaltender posted a 26-8-4 record, a .915 save percentage, a 2.33 goals-against average, and five shutouts. With numbers like these, he certainly has the potential to make the jump to the NHL next season and could be a nice backup option for the Flyers because of it.
Ultimately, with the Flyers needing goalie depth, Cossa would be a very good prospect for them to take a chance on if he is made available. Let’s see if they target him from here.
