The latest blockbuster trade proposal provided by Heavy.com sees the Oilers trading Mattias Ekholm to the Detroit Red Wings for Sebastian Cossa and Justin Holl. The <a href='https://heavy.com/sports/nhl/edmonton-oilers/trade-idea-cossa-ekholm-blockbuster/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers could be looking at the Detroit Red Wings</a> to solve their long-term goaltending situation. Heavy.com presented a blockbuster offer that would send premier goaltending prospect Sebastian Cossa and blueliner Justin Holl to Edmonton for star defenseman Mattias Ekholm and two picks. Oilers acquire: Sebastian Cossa Justin Holl Red Wings acquire: Mattias Ekholm 2026 second-round pick 2028 third-round pick The crown jewel for Edmonton would be Sebastian Cossa, the 15th overall selection in 2021 and one of hockey's best goalie prospects. At age 22, he's considered a potential franchise goaltender but is staring at a crowded crease in Detroit. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/JCourvilleLynch/status/1954949908471140379'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TheHockeyWriter/status/1954890575204815108'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.nhl.com/redwings/player/sebastian-cossa-8482657' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Cossa</a> was 21-15-5 with a 2.45 GAA and .911 save percentage in the AHL last season, along with one NHL game, a victory, where he posted a 2.67 GAA. He could challenge for Edmonton's starting role right away alongside Stuart Skinner and potentially take over full-time in 2026. Holl would be a good fit as a third-pairing defenseman for Edmonton, which would replace the loss of Mattias Ekholm while allowing Detroit to take over his contract. <h3>Ekholm Will Be a UFA at the End of Next Season</h3> Detroit would receive a top-pairing defenseman in Ekholm, who is entering the last year of a four-year, $25 million contract. The 34-year-old had nine goals and 24 assists in 65 games last season and would add shutdown dependability to the Red Wings' blue line. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/nhl-analyst-predicts-edmonton-oilers-could-sign-star-goalie-to-massive-35m-contract' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>For Edmonton, this would be about more than just next season</a>. With Skinner and Calvin Pickard being inconsistent in 2024-25, GM Stan Bowman suggested changes in net were on the way. Well, the evaluation isn't something you do just once or twice and then it's over with. When I say that, it's not just looking at the goaltending we have, but also what's out there and options, Bowman said. So it's going to be a process that we're going to go through. I don't think we're going to come to a decision tomorrow or the next day. It's really about taking in the information, and eventually, we're going to settle on the thing that we think makes the most sense Part of the evaluation is the guys that we have, and if it makes the most sense to keep this group, that's certainly a possibility. So I don't know. We're not at the point where we're saying we're definitely bringing in new goalies, Bowman added. Adding Cossa would give the Oilers a short-term upgrade and long-term solution, which could put years of question marks in goal to rest.
