“That’s not the solution. Not yet at least. It may eventually come to that, or at least someone else going on waivers to get Cossa up to Detroit from Grand Rapids, where he is performing well in the American Hockey League. […]
We can’t forget that the Red Wings are Gibson’s first new team in his NHL career and for a goalie, it can take some time to get adjusted to playing in a different system with all new defensemen. That’s why Gibson should not be at the end of his runway.
Even more, the Red Wings acquired him to be a possible No. 1 goalie, sending goalie Petr Mrazek and two draft picks, including a second-round pick in 2027, to the Anaheim Ducks. They’re not going to give up on him after a dozen games, especially to elevate a goalie in Cossa who has one game of NHL experience, and that was in relief last season.
Cossa will get his chance, maybe even this season, but not at the expense of Gibson. At least not yet.”
