I wouldn't say Cossa is coming "soon" as goalies are usually 3-4 years minimum, even 1st round picks.

Luongo. 4th overall. 4 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Fleury. 1st Overall. 3 Years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Kari Lehtonen. 2nd overall. 4 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Carey Price. 5th overall. 3 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Martin Brodeur. 20th overall. 4 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Andrei Vasilevskiy. 19th overall. 4 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Tuukka Rask. 24th overall. 5 years. until he was an established NHL goalie.
Jake Oettinger. 26th Overall. 4 years until he was an established NHL goalie.
Spencer Knight. 13th overall. Still not established NHL goalie...but getting there.

We likely won't see Cossa until 2025-2026. Just how it is with Goalies.

Sujet: Detroits quietish trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EccE</b></div><div>I haven't scouted Gagner at all. Can you, as a Wings fan, tell me a bit about him:
Does he win faceoffs?
Is he reliable in the D-zone or is he a liability?
What offence does he have in him, if any?
Where in the lineup has he played for Detroit this season?
If you were a contending team, would you even think about acquiring him?

Thank you!</div></div>
As a Wings fan, I'll give my two cents
1. He can win faceoffs, but it's not his forte. This is his only year above 50% in his career, so I'd consider him more of a winger that can take faceoffs if needed.
2. The defense is pretty good, nothing outstanding but it's at least a little above average for a bottom-sixer from what I've seen of him.
3. There's still that offensive flair he had back when he scored 8 points in that game from his early days, but his scoring isn't as big of a strength as it used to be. He's more of a role player now, but you'll still see some sick moves every once in a while when he carries the puck through the neutral zone.
4. He's mostly been on the 4th line, but he's available to be utilized pretty much anywhere in the bottom 6 if you need him to fill in.
5. If I was the GM of a contending team, the main reason to acquire him would be if I need experience/mentorship or just a reliable player to add to a struggling bottom 6. His price is probably a 5th (maybe a 4th if Detroit's lucky) on the open market, but he's the kind of player that GMs will want on their team, especially if there's a young guy in the bottom 6 that could use a mentor alongside him. He's a jack-of-all-trades kind of player and a really great guy.
