Edmonton Oilers and Sebastian Cossa NHL trade rumors spread despite no Detroit Red Wings trade agreement

As speculation around the NHL offseason continues, the Edmonton Oilers have been linked with Detroit Red Wings goaltending prospect Sebastian Cossa. There have been no signs of a trade being done, but speculation on social media has fuelled reports linking both teams.

The matchup makes sense as a logical topic of conversation, with Edmonton needing more help in goal and Detroit’s organisational depth. But there has not been any official announcement or word from major NHL insiders that a deal involving Sebastian Cossa has been completed.

Edmonton Oilers and Sebastian Cossa NHL trade rumors explained

The Edmonton Oilers have not confirmed a trade involving Sebastian Cossa. Most of the rumours have originated from social media posts and fan chatter. There’s been no word from any NHL insider that the Detroit Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers have agreed to a deal. Likewise, neither club has announced a transaction involving the highly regarded goaltender.

Edmonton’s search for answers between the pipes has driven up the speculation on available goalies throughout the NHL offseason.

Sebastian Cossa was a first-round pick for the Detroit Red Wings in the 2021 NHL Draft, and they still view him as a big part of their future. The 22-year-old netminder has developed in the organization and is under contract.

Another deep playoff run has the Edmonton Oilers still looking to improve their goaltending depth. That reality has, of course, led to plenty of NHL trade rumours linking the club to several potential targets.

But speculation alone does not mean a deal is imminent. Long before there is any verified information, there are often viral posts and comments on social media.

Sebastian Cossa has not been traded and remains part of the Detroit Red Wings organization at this time. As for the possibility of talks down the line, but no indication that the Edmonton Oilers have agreed to a deal.

NHL offseason chatter will go on as fans wait for development, but any potential movement involving Cossa is purely theoretical at this point.
