Utah’s Interest in Cossa, Rangers’ Potential Move, and Senators’ Backup Search

Kevin Weekes reports that the Detroit Red Wings might be open to trading goaltender Sebastian Cossa, with the Utah Mammoth showing interest. Meanwhile, the New York Rangers could be looking to move forward Brett Berard. For the Ottawa Senators, goaltender Stuart Skinner is reportedly on their radar as a backup option.

Elliotte Friedman noted that the Montreal Canadiens reportedly offered a package including Alexander Zharovsky, two first-round picks, and prospects for Matthew Knies.

Florida Panthers and Dylan Larkin: A Fit?

David Dwork of The Hockey News discusses the possibility of Dylan Larkin joining the Florida Panthers. Larkin has expressed interest in playing for them, but his significant cap hit ($8.75 million through 2030-31) and the Panthers’ existing roster depth raise questions about the fit. It’s unlikely the Panthers would trade key players like Aleksander Barkov or Anton Lundell. The Red Wings would likely demand a premium package, potentially including the No. 9 pick in the draft, along with players like Luostarinen and prospect Sandis Vilmanis, to consider a divisional trade.
