His offensive upside has been underrated.
In theory, he would make a great LW'er on a line with Matthews and Marner. Can skate, forecheck, make high level plays and also finish.
If he has a good offseason, getting a bit stronger, he's not that far off from being able to play in the NHL.

You have to give Tre till next year to fix the massive mess.

How about the year after when we DO have the money and he fills our LW need for league minimum
Then we can make a real splash on D and have him on the team. Man im stoked for this kid!I think the most impressive thing about his crazy consecutive game point streak is that it shows he brings it every single night. That kind of competitiveness will be a real asset to the Leafs.How about the year after when we DO have the money and he fills our LW need for league minimum

Agreed. Also, I just checked and he plays rw/c. Dunno why I said LW. That's my mistake.
Really curious how good this kid is.
Anyone can give a real non hype up review of him would be great.
It seems like this guy is going to be a Marchand or Point type player.

That’s probably his ceiling. I see a stronger Konency. Also heard a comparison of a less tenacious Darcy Tucker.

A couple friends saw him live, they're not scouts but they said he reminded them of Steve Thomas.
Good observation, that's where I see him, at least at the start of his NHL career. A tenacious winger that is skilled enough to play with the elite players.
As for comparisons to past Leafs, I think Wendel Clark is the most realistic -- but a faster and more skilled version and not quite the bone crushing hitter, but that type of combo of competitiveness and skill and giving his all for the team.
The fact that these's a good chance that the Leafs can have his kid in an important role next year on an Entry Level Contract is life-saver to help the Cap situation.

Too bad there is only 1 game left in the season meaning the highest he can get to is 36 unless playoff games count.
If playoff games dont count, i bet this might be his last regular season OHL game. He is either going to the AHL or NHL next year.

He will 100% not be in the AHL next year.

He played 4 full seasons in the CHL. Cowan's options next year will be NHL or back to London.

THIRD LINE: Cowan - Minten - Jarnkrok
I think that's a realistic place to start both Cowan and Minten next year on the third line. If they play better then third-line players move them up if not keep them on the third line and just let them play and get experience.
