Red Wings Trade Goalie Prospect Sebastian Cossa to Utah for 23rd Pick, Select Forward JP Hurlbert
Detroit gained the No. 23 pick and selected a 42-goal winger after moving the 2021 first-round goalie prospect.
- On Friday, the Detroit Red Wings traded goaltender Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth for the 23rd overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, immediately using that selection to draft forward JP Hurlbert.
- Detroit general manager Steve Yzerman dealt Cossa, the 15th pick in the 2021 draft, after the goaltender failed to secure a permanent NHL role and lost his starting job with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
- Hurlbert, a Texas native who tallied 42 goals and 55 assists for the Kamloops Blazers last season, will join the University of Michigan hockey program this fall.
- In Utah, Cossa will likely back up Karel Vejmelka, who played 58 games last season, providing the 23-year-old goaltender an opportunity to adapt to the NHL level.
- The Red Wings maintain organizational goaltending depth with prospect Trey Augustine, while the team views Hurlbert as a potential future star who adds offensive creativity to their prospect pool.
