Prospect Info: 2023 1st Rd Selection - #28 OA (via BOS, WSH) - C, Easton Cowan [London Knights, OHL; [Height 5.11 -- Weight 185]

Cowan needs to bulk up and get stronger in addition to improving his skating.

The Leafs have had way too many undersized and mediocre skating forwards over the past half decade.

This is how I feel as well. We have enough guys who can play on the outside saucing passes across the rink.

The organization should be trying to trade some of this undersized talent for some guys who can play on the inside. There's nothing wrong with that asset management.

Let’s dump Cowan. Who needs a runt in the lineup that can’t achieve anything. It’s obvious based on his OHL performance that he will never amount to anything. Cowan for Rempe is a good value deal. Awesome asset management.

Is his skating bad?
I haven't seen him much but did see him get a few breakaways/ just kinda blaze by people
In the pre season.

I've been beating this drum since the he was drafted but yeah the kid needs to cook more in the OHL.

He is a great player that has benefited from being part of a great London program. Works hard, has skill, etc. However, the jump up is just too much at this time. Send him to London, they should have a great season and compete for another title... He can bulk up, work on some individual skill and come back to camp next year bigger and more dynamic.
