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.

This is why I don’t see him being a trade piece, he’s being groomed to be an all situations 3rd line driver asap, the type that contenders will give 5x5 in UFA. Rebuilding teams need high upside core pieces, they won’t get the cap value of a high end all situations 3rd liner over the course of his ELC, by the time they’re done rebuilding he won’t be cheap anymore. He has higher value to us and other contenders than any rebuilding team looking to move a core piece.
Imo the best trajectory for him as an asset for us is 3 years of 30-40 point Konecny-lite on an ELC and then flip him for a bigger core piece when we have our 1st again and some bubble team wants to gamble on him breaking out like Konecny/Hagel with more opportunity.

Great to hear he's taking draws and doing well at it. If they could turn him into a C it would make him so much more valuable when he gets to the NHL

I'm not going to hold my breath for that, but we could only be so lucky
That would be huge

Worth noting that despite his production now standing out - he is the only player on Flint above a point per game.

Wonder if we should get very attached to this pick, or is this a player someone like the Blues would be eyeing as a throw in?

Cowan streak stops at 65(29) 7/16 on the dot. Physical and powerplay quarterback.

With a first period short handed breakaway goal against the Laval Rocket on Feb. 7 Toronto Marlies forward Alex Steeves became the franchises all-time leader in goals.
Steeves' goal was the 95th of his Marlies career, passing Ryan Hamilton, who scored his last goal for the team in 2013.
The 25-year-old set the franchise record for points on Dec. 7 when he recorded his 169th point, passing Kris Newbury. He is now up to 195 points in 223 career AHL games.
With 26 goals and 41 points in 35 games this season Steeves leads the AHL in goals and sits fourth in scoring. He is four points outside the scoring lead, despite playing six games less than the scoring leader.

Mind boggling that he hasn’t been given a fair chance.

Goal and two assists for Malinoski last night. Follows a hattrick last Saturday. Season total now at 18 points in 25 games, matching last year's total in 35 games. Apparently has now grown to 6'2, so if he takes another offensive leap next year... maybe. (Kloke article from last summer about Malinoski needing brain surgery at 13, including a wild follow-up surgery so that he could keep playing contact sports, after suffering a verterbral artery tear after jumping off a roof...: How a rare and risky surgery preserved the NHL dream of a Maple Leafs draft pick Part of why he was still only playing AAA at 18. Could be a late bloomer... Apparently a Darren Ritchie/Garth Malarchuk pick)
After finally having an offensive burst, Voit now in a 1 point in 8 games slump.
Randomly saw that Lisowsky has committed to Colorado College in the NCAA. Part of the (first?) wave of major junior players taking the new NCAA route?
1 G 1 A for Mayes in a 9-1 route last night. Now at 0.5 points/game. Only had 16 points in 68 games in his draft year. 7th rounder, but good to see him progressing at least. Hard to judge the statline of our other 7th round tree, Lahey, who's at 11 points in 39 games in his first USHL year after 19 points in 54 games in the BCHL. Committed to Michigen State next year.
Any takes on Webber or Mattinen? The latter looked way out of his depth in the one Marlies game I saw and doesn't seem to be playing much (17 games), but thought Webber looked alright in that one game, and is at least a regular (36 games).
Just to complete the 'tall D prospect' roundup, Chadwick producing similarly to last year (0.83 pts/game vs 0.85 last year) and captaining a decent Lethbridge team. Will be interesting to see how he handles the AHL next year.

Came to post about these two, solid statistical progression for "project" type picks, trending towards "legit prospect" status along with McCue.
On the downside of things another "M" pick in Moldenauer seems to be stagnating and losing that status

A bit surprised he hasn't been noisy about it.
Question for you people...if Steeves was given the same runway as Robertson has been given, how different do you think their stats look this year?
I think he has though ... he just hasn't really ever done anything when he's up with the Leafs.

No rational person would expect someone thrown in with 4th liners is going to produce. He hasn’t really ever been given the opportunity to play with offensive players.

I'd be surprised if he didn't have better goal totals than Robertson with the same opportunity
He's never had anybody to play with, he's a goal scoring winger so he needs a playmaking center or wing on his line to help him produce
He's a good player but he's not good enough to provide for himself
