For the guys thinking we could get Cowen in a trade back, you have to consider other teams and the copious amounts of draft picks they have. Some teams have 9-12 picks and up to 3 (2nd rounders). Leafs can never compete with that on draft day so are forced to take their man early or not get him at all. Many teams can take flyers on players before the leafs get another pick out of the 1st round. I've always hated this issue with the leafs. They throw draft picks away to easily.
