The best part of Cossa’s game is that even when he has an off performance, his game is still about as consistent as they come. His demeanor and approach doesn’t seem to change whether he gets 10 or 45 shots and his efficiency in the crease is at an elite level. He’s highly athletic but so well positioned that he seldom has to scramble or make a reactionary save because of his attentiveness and vision which allows him to preplan movements. He’s a huge kid who plays on his angles and adjusts consistently to eliminate gaps in coverage and always takes the high percentage shots away. Cossa has quick feet and is quick in and out of his butterfly, taking up a massive span and moving laterally with great control of lower and upper body. Rarely does he give up bad pucks or lose sight of rebounds and his glove hand is a strength with consistent positioning with the quickness to adjust and reposition. He does an excellent job of positioning his stick, blocker and pads to court pucks and find dead ice to move rebounds to, seldom putting a putting back in front of his crease and ideal areas for his defense to pick up the loose change. Cossa’s tremendously powerful lower body is on display when he anchors to the post and moves laterally. Shows excellent post play and eliminates short side jam plays and can quickly readjust with pucks out front. His physical toolbox is chock-full. Cossa is an imposing and athletic 6-foot-6 and while the size is a plus the fact that it’s paired with top level quickness is what really makes him stand out. He has explosive reflexes with his limbs and can lash out with an arm or a leg along with the best of them. He also tracks bounces and caroms very well and can make an unorthodox save when needed. While he has these natural gifts, he is technically very sound and uses his athleticism to bail himself out rather than as a crutch he needs to lean on. He has been guilty of letting in some weak goals stemming from a lack of focus in the past however he really shored that up towards the end of 2019-20 and into 2020-21.
