That's a pretty wild take. One of his best attributes from even before his draft year was his energy level. A few games at this tournament won't change that where the team has been struggling mightly as a whole.
He's not been as good as I've seen him but he's been far from the worst player on the ice lol Hyper focusing his every shift

Jaw dropping performance from Cowan in a bad way.
Trying desperately hard to be someone he’s not in this tournament.

Dumb penalties and the refs calling everything overshadowed some positives from the Canadians in the game
Anyway, the US easily favoured so a loss shouldn’t be shocking. Canada just has some work to do if they want it.

Cowan is so obviously a good player. He’s trying to make skill plays and has the gumption to try and take the team on his shoulders. That’s a good thing.
But holy shit is he so obviously already a Toronto Maple Leaf who is inside his own head with visions of destiny. Trying to be the guy, trying to make the highlight play against the hated rival that will play on reels forever. Just play the damn game.
I think he’s an NHL’er, probably a solid one, but if if he thinks he’s Mitch Marner we’re going to have problems.

I am not on the Cowan hype train, but this time last year everyone was convinced Minten was a bust because of his performance as captain of an underwhelming team, fans seem to have done a 180 on him.
You don't remember Matthews and Marner during their WJC tournament for being Leafs prospects
Matthews every play was scrutnized, especially by Jets fans
Cown hasn't been the same in a while. He's also just coming off injuries
Problem is we have produced Celebrini, Bedard last few years. Everyone thinks unless you are at their level, you are a flop
A lot of great players has had poor WJC showing
On that flip side, a lot of player looked liked they were going to be stars, ended up flopping out. Remember Dawes, Introneuvo?
Why is it always our prospects play like shit on team Canada?

Cowan will fit right in as a Leaf. Can't score when he is really needed and takes stupid ass penalties at the wrong time!
I would trade him in a package for a 2nd line center that our Leafs desperately need.

I like the WJC because it's good hockey. The same way college football is often more entertaining than the NFL, because these kids play exciting hockey. Their verve hasn't been ground down by days and days of systems systems systems.
But I find myself struggling to give much of a shit. Canada probably won't win this year...so? They'll win at least one in the next 3.
Cowan looks good running the PP, and that's about it this tournament. He and the rest of them are going to f*** it up by trying too much cutesy shit and taking too many penalties. Rehkopf(?) Would have had his ass stapled to the bench on my team for taking two back to back penalties.

Our last world junior stud was Topi Nemiela and I'm pretty confident he's a bust
This tournament is nearly meaningless to NHL careers.

The best thing that can happen for Cowen is two years in the AHL. That or we move him for something that helps us win now. I have seen nothing that says he would be a Tuukka Rask type error.

The Leafs never had him on a contract.
