Sam McCue - 2 goals plus a shootout goal against London
Easton Cowan - 2 assists and a shootout goal against Owen Sound.

Great game between 2 leaf prospects.

McCue is turning heads, they may have struck on another late pick. If he makes the NHL in a few years in any capacity its a win.

Voit has been called up. Only 4 points in 12 games in the ECHL but Cyclones are terrible so not sure what to make of those numbers

McCue is interesting. The point totals are underwhelming for a U20 that you'd hope is AHL ready by next fall. But 6'2 workhorse that thrives on the forecheck putting up 40 goals (if he keeps it up) is an eyebrowraising 7th rounder.

Have to assume he will get moved to a contender, will be interesting to see if he thrives as a complementary player to more talent or if the scoring falls off with less ice/ less of the offense running through him.

I have days I think the Leafs should just get all 6 and 7th rounders . Their record is astounding. Even Grebs is a 5th.

We drafted him?

Yep in the 5th round this past draft

He will skate better too

One thing Dubas did with Shanny was develop a very good development program and also have /had a great team of scouts.

It’s hard to make it in the NHL as a 1st rd pick let alone later rd picks.

Hopefully Trey continues the shrewd late drafting.

And imagine if we had Amirov?

Who drafted the passer?

That’s filthy.

Not a specific criticism of Cowan, but for me going that slow and/or outside the faceoff dot makes a mockery of the shootout, which by itself is already enough of a mockery.
