Prospect Info: Marlies, Cyclones, and Prospect Discussion

[4thline]

This has probably been the least exciting year to follow prospects in a decade.

f*** me time is flying. This time exactly 10 years ago Nylander was playing his D+1, right around now he came to the Marlies.

Cowan with a goal and an assist tonight makes it 65 straight games ( 29 this season)

That is no easy achievement. Crazy consistency
People like to downplay his achievement because it's done in the span of two seasons. To me that's tougher to do it two seasons and keep the streak going

A lot of players gets stack teams, weak seasons from other teams or just go on a hot streak.

He's not flashy this year and I think because of last year there were unreasonable expectations on him. As if he's goign to score 300 points in the O
Other teams build their games around him now yet he's stil producing

For sure, it down played because it is over 2 seasons, but it is also 29 games this season still tops in the CHL. He has been taking draws( just last night 12 of 19) a lot in the defensive zone. He quarterbacks the powerplay he is physical and consistent. He play away from the puck has improved. London has obviously been working with Leaf staff in his development and it would be a hard argument to find a better junior development staff than those in London.
