Cossa with a big weekend in Toledo. Got a rare back to back start as Lethemon was up in GR. Won both stopping 55 of 56 shots. On the year...Cossa has a 2.50 GAA and a .911 SV %. The team is red hot...currently on a 13 game winning streak
Bad move? Mantha hasn't been too good in DC. The 2021 1st was flipped to get Cossa...he's doing pretty well right now in his 1st pro season in Toledo and the 2022 2nd was Buchelnikov...looks like a prospect if he ever comes stateside.
In any case...I think it's too early to say it's a bad deal as the assets we got back are still developing
SY has the ammo to make a swing for the fences offer for an established younger star from outside the org or near the top of this years draft. No one is trading the rights to Bedard...but maybe Fantilli or Will Smith?
System graduated Seider, Bergrren (sort of) Soderblom and Raymond...guys like Mazur, Wallinder, Kasper and Edvinsson are now waiting in the wings along with Lombardi, Hanas..etc...
System seems a lot healthier than it was when Yzerman took over
I could live with just about any scenario...Gonzalez at 6 and Robinson or the best OL available at 18...I would be OK with Wilson or Myles Murphy at 6 and the best CB at 18. I could see trading back and drafting at 9 instead (don't want to move out of the top 10).
The only thing I could NOT abide by is drafting a QB at 6...especially Levis or Richardson
So...if Carter is off the board for teams picking at the top of the draft...does this make it more likely tht Lions go corner at 6? One less DL at the top
IIRC...The AHL has a streaming service that allows you to buy full access/full access to "your" team or single games only. If they can do it...the NHL should be able to
Cossa nd Lethemon continue to backstop a red hot Toledo team. Cossa turned away 55 of 57 shots this weekend and Lethemon turned in a shutout. Toledo has won 8 straight
