The fact that Mitch Marner performed those same feats certainly takes some of hype off for me even though it really shouldn’t lol. He’s a fantastic prospect and a steal at 28th.

18GP 10G 24A 34PTS in the playoffs.
In the finals: 4GP 3G 12A 15PTS
He was very steady throughout the playoffs but he went absolute beast mode in the finals.
Can't wait to see him in the memorial cup.

He already hates the fans wowwww
Excellent.
So he isn't joining the Leafs with the mistaken impression that he's the anointed one since he's been 6 years old.
He is living in reality.

Cowan won't have to worry about the fans while he's still on his ELC.
My advice to him when he asks for his first pay raise after that restraint of trade though is duck and cover.

he'll be fine al long as he or the team leak a good story through their insiders
AM - the deep pocketed yotes were going to offer sheet him at 20% of the cap
JT - multiple teams were offering 14/15m so him signing for the highest cap hit in the league was a discount
through some pics in some Leaf merch and he's gold

Those are crazy numbers. 4 games: 15 points. Guy goes on a record point streak then shows up in the playoffs. MVP everywhere.. Now the Memorial Cup: Round-Robin – Game 2 – Saturday, May 25 – London vs. Drummondville (4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT)

No he said it because he means it, kid had a Marner jersey. It’s okay if someone says something nice about Mitch, it’s okay.

Yeah that's what I mean. I'm not saying he's had media coaching. Marner is a legend to the London Knights. Of course he's going to sing MMs praises

Yeah, he's a London Knight, Mitch was a London Knight.
I'm sure he also mentions Dylan Strome taken before marner ... or maybe not?
Mark Masters: With Marner urging him on, Cowan looks to finish the job at Memorial Cup | TSN
Easton Cowan is the first player to win the Red Tilson Trophy (OHL regular season MVP) and Wayne Gretzky 99 Award (OHL playoff MVP) since Marner, who took home that hardware in 2016 while with the Knights.

Scout's Analysis: Prospects of interest at the Memorial Cup
London, Drummondville, Moose Jaw and host Saginaw will compete at the Memorial Cup beginning on Friday. Scout Jason Bukala will be there, and writes about a few prospects he's most interested in viewing.
LONDON KNIGHTS
Easton Cowan, F, 5-foot-11, 185 pounds
Drafted 28th overall in 2023 (Toronto): 54GP-34G-62A | 18GP-10G-24A
Cowan's game started to trend upwards in the second half of the 2023 season and he hasn't looked back. He topped off a fantastic regular season with playoff scoring that led the entire CHL. At the end of the season, he was named the OHL's Most Outstanding Player.
Cowan can play the game a variety of ways. He has quick strike ability off the rush, works off the cycle proficiently, and has proven he can score from distance with an accurate release. He also has the hockey sense and commitment to be used in all situations. When he doesn't have the puck, he works to regain possession for his group with his pursuit.
Cowan has the pace, skill, and compete that projects to be more than just a scoring forward at the NHL level.
NHL Projection: Top-six forward, deployed in all situations

So if he wins this award plus Memorial Cup MVP he'll tie Marner and Brad Richards as the only players to sweep all the available awards?

Something to consider regarding Cowen - he's not eligible to play in the AHL next season.
If he doesn't make the NHL team, he would have to go back to London.
People who watch him closer than I do could probably comment more, but feels like he's probably too good to go back to junior for another year?

As an 18 year old he was already OHL regular season MVP (Red Tilson Trophy) and OHL playoff MVP ((Wayne Gretzky 99 Award) and could top this off by leading his team to the Memorial Cup and be named tournament MVP there also. Then he will get a looooooong look at Leafs camp.
He will look good on Leafs 3rd "KID LINE" next year ...

As much as Marner has poisoned the well the last few years, if you got a Marner calibre player at #28 you should be ecstatic lol. Also Cowan is closer to a guy like Kadri in terms of heart and play style than he is Marner anyways.
Can't comment too much on this but IMO the only real benefit of him going back would be that he could play C for a whole year. If he becomes a legitimate C prospect for us that's pretty huge given that we don't have much there outside of Minten (who probably ends up a 3C type) in the pipeline.

Yeah 61 goals in 63 games, and a monster playoff performance, will likely make him the CHL POTY.
