Joshua Kloke managed to snag a chat with the legand, Thommie Bergmann, for The Athletic: Meet the Maple Leafs scout who drafted William Nylander and many diamonds in the rough
Nice article.
I vaguely recall there was a team policy against staff doing any media interviews, so it makes me sad to think this is a sign he's finally winding down... Deserves a plaque on this thread.

Grebyonkin quite easily.
I think you could make pretty good case he's our #1 prospect (Knies no longer a prospect)

Just got credited with another assist on the late Denver Barkey goal
3 assists
27 pts in 14 games played
Best PPG rate of anyone in the OHL with big games played sample

No official announcement. It kind of looks like he has though. Had a significant injury in his first game in the KHL last year… played a couple of playoff games, but would have had to become a Russian citizen to continue to play in the KHL this year.

Sad. I was rooting for him to maybe be a redemption story but just wasn't meant to be... So much talent
Extremely hard to do, but if he can keep it up he would only be behind this group for 18 year old seasons in the last 20 years:
P.Kane 2.50 PPG
M.Marner 2.035 PPG
D.Strome 1.982 PPG
C.McMichael 1.962 PPG
M.Rossi 2.143 PPG
Cowan currently at 1.93.
Can't see how he doesn't make team canada
4th line to start but he's an NHL ready penalty killer already
Seen him live twice .looks like Sébastien aho

Talented Junior player, never showed much of anything beyond that. His skating and puck handling were elite, but his hockey IQ was way below average. He never even came close to being PPG in the AHL. His production peak, was less than Abruzzese's production last year. That's just not a pro player.
Cowan is our best prospect by a country mile
A top 6 players PP PK in 2 yrs for the Leafs.
He will be a trusted player to put in any situation.

I actually think Cowan is going to gain trust from the coaching staff quite quickly on the PK.
Similar to how Marner got to play PK in his first year.

His straight line speed is awesome.
I think if he can work on agility etc over the upcoming summer, gain strength, we're going to have something. I think he's gonna be a huge part of the middle 6 and the type of players that others will like to play with.

Cowan could actually work well as a complimentary LW'er on a line with Matthews/Marner.
Has the speed to forecheck and win races to loose pucks and has more than enough skill to finish plays but also very good playmaking skill.
Almost similar to what Hyman brought but a bit more offensive talent.
Even if its on a second line with Tavares, our top 6 would be pretty stacked.
Knies - Matthews - Marner
Cowan - Tavares - Nylander

I could see him being a complimentary 3rd wheel at some point, 3rd line is a great starting spot for him next year though.

I think Cowan’s biggest thing is to ensure he had NHL ready strength.. to avoid injuries and handle the rigours against bigger players.
Everything else seems pro ready

He’s gotten up to 185lbs which is very impressive. It almost seems likes he’s gained speed and power on his already + skating. I agree, he’ll need another couple years to gain more strength and hopefully another inch or two. Looking like an amazing pick so far.

I think I read that he grew up on a farm? Kid is likely an absolute tank if he put in some work on it.

Would prefer to have Cowan on JT's line for his speed. Great looking top 6.
Having a 3rd line with Minten, Holmberg and Robertson would be one helluva 3rd line that could play with energy, offense and defensive play too.
