Easton Cowan makes a key decision that could shape his immediate future with the Toronto Maple Leafs
Easton Cowan is signaling his focus has shifted to making the Toronto Maple Leafs roster for this upcoming season.
It comes as little surprise, but Leafs 2023 first round pick Easton Cowan will be skipping the training camp for his OHL team, the London Knights, with the goal of making the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jared Brown of 'The Hockey News' wrote in an article Cowan is a player to watch to push for a roster spot in the NHL, along with fellow Knights forward Kasper Halttunen, a product of the San Jose Sharks.
The belief among the Leafs is that Cowan, along with fellow prospect Fraser Minten, is still an outsider, but if he's cut fron the team, he'll be one of the later ones, if not the last man fighting.
Cowan had 34 goals, 52 assists and 96 points in 54 games for the London Knights while also having 34 points in 18 playoff games en route to a J. Ross Robertson Cup victory and a Memorial Cup final.
Cowan also appeared for Canada at the 2024 World Junior Championship, having two points in five games.
