[Marc the Habs Fan]

Another strong game tonight in a matchup with Wallstedt.

27 saves on 29 shots.

Shootout win.

Could Cossa be ready for a backup/1B spot next season or will he need another year in the AHL?

I think logically the progression is clear #1 in AHL but maybe gets a cup of coffee in the NHL next year.

After last night, Cossa is 21-8-9 with a .914 save percentage and 2.41 GAA, which compares very favorably to Wallstedt and Askarov in the AHL this year.

Since the start of 2024, here is a little statistical comparison of the top 6 goalie prospects in the AHL this year.

Cossa was really good this year. Just goes to show that goaltender development is non-linear.

Isn’t that generally true of a lot of players? There are fits and starts along the way. The important thing is how he ends up not so much how he got there. Future is bright for him.

Vasilevsky at 20 already in NHL under the same GM Cossa will be 22 next season. He should be between AHl and NHL next season

Different scenarios, different type of prospects regardless of draft position.

Regardless, Cossa deserves cup of coffee with Red Wings next season

Red Wings prospects don't get cups of coffee. and if they do it has a sippy lid on it. Don't ever believe the line. Players can earn roster spots at training camp. We learned that is a lie. I wish Yzerman would stop saying that. I believe in Yzerman by the way.

Finishes his first AHL regular season 22-9-9, .913 save percentage, 2.41 GAA.
