The Detroit Red Wings executed a trade during the 2026 NHL Draft, sending goaltending prospect Sebastian Cossa to the Utah Mammoth for the 23rd overall pick. They used this pick to draft Kamloops Blazers forward JP Hurlbert, an 18-year-old who achieved impressive stats in the WHL last season. Cossa, a former first-round pick, posted a strong performance with the Grand Rapids Griffins and now aims to become a starting goalie for Utah. This deal raises expectations for Hurlbert in Detroit, given the potential of Cossa to develop into a top goaltender in the league.
