The Oilers have been linked to young, talented Red Wings goalie Sebastian Cossa after Cam Robinson reports the team reached out to Detroit about another player. Oilers GM Stan Bowman has stated bluntly that <a href='https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/edmonton-oilers/target-red-wings-goalie-sebastian-cossa/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>he's looking for younger players who can play immediately</a> and open up the team's Stanley Cup window. His recent transactions prove that out: dealing Sam O'Reilly for NHL-ready Isaac Howard, dealing Ryan McLeod for Matt Savoie, and acquiring Vasily Podkolzin on the cheap last summer. After too many veteran experiments didn't pan out, Bowman's youth charge is a breath of fresh air. With multiple young forwards likely to make contributions this season, the same mentality could soon be true in net. That is where Detroit goalie Sebastian Cossa enters the picture. Red Wings netminder Trey Augustine was queried by the Oilers, Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson reports, but Augustine was unavailable. The Oilers reached out to the Red Wings about Trey Augustine, but he was a non-starter in trade conversations. - Cam Robinson <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLRumourReport/status/1977499015895011702'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Cossa, a year older and ready for the NHL, might be the next obvious fit. Fourth-ranked among all goalie prospects, he already has an NHL game on his resume and is still waiver-exempt, a perfect bridge solution for <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/analyst-reveals-the-biggest-roadblock-preventing-the-edmonton-oilers-from-trading-for-a-goalie' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a team seeking depth between the pipes.</a> <h3>The Oilers are Still Looking for a Hidden Gem Between the Pipes</h3> Bob Stauffer of 'Oilers Now' added fuel to the rumor mill by suggesting Edmonton is pursuing a goalie who hasn't really caught much momentum and who has a local tie. Cossa is the perfect fit: a former Edmonton Oil King from a squad that has another top young goalie in Augustine. Though the Red Wings are not forced to deal Cossa, his route to an NHL roster is jammed by veteran Cam Talbot for at least another season. Edmonton, on the other hand, has a desperate need. If Bowman can pull off one more smart trade, Cossa might be the backbone of the Oilers' future, and possibly the solution they've been lacking in the crease.
