Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "Cowan is a standout skater who buzzes around the ice, works and plays hard, thrives on the penalty kill, and emerged as an important player for a typically strong Knights team this year. He plays a fast, clever, determined and consistent game, hunting pucks, winning races, and then making little skill plays when opportunities or openings in coverage present themselves."
Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "A big postseason performance with OHL runner-up London helped put Cowan more firmly on the map among the big late risers in this draft class. Despite slightly below-average size, Cowan has a good on-ice work ethic and showed enough skill to produce."
Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "He plays with a lot of energy and courage, not shying from getting to the net or engaging in after-the-whistle activities. Cowan has good skills, and enough hockey sense to make you think he'll score as a pro, but whether there's enough pure offense in his game is a question, especially as a barely 5-foot-11 player."
. It is no different than the guys who insisted just before camp this year that Minten couldn't play defence and he'll need 2 years in the AHL to straighten his game out? I predict he'll likely play more Leafs games than Robertson this season. Gruden loves the kid and can't say enough good things about him! He's got him centering Grebynkin and Nylander and also getting time on both special teams.
