that should be enough to showcase him for a trade to London.......but London may want him sooner (Willmore's rough start to the season continues as he gives up 5 to Brampton before being pulled half way through the 2nd period tonight)
Gowan injured? You would have to assume so but who knows with Wilson. Parish on the 2nd line is interesting as well.
He appears to be is rotating the rookie defencemen in the 6th and 7th spots. I think it is Gowans’ game to sit out.
Do you think Genc Ula and Thanasi Marentette are the same caliber player as Blake Gowan?
On the surface no but I think Ula has potential and needs to be developed as does Marentette.
Why does Marentette need to be developed, especially at the expense of Gowan? Gowan has played four games, has two points, has been one of the better defenders already and shown a strong two way game. He's only -1 on this disaster of a team. He was a high pick with big talent and upside.
Marentette is a late round pick, who is strong and... what else? He's the 8th DMan and that's what he should be, he's a borderline OHL player at best. You do not under any circumstances need to prioritize his development over Gowan and having him in the lineup over him makes you a worse team on the ice.
I think Gowan must have some sort of injury or this is coaching malpractice.
Gowan is one of only five OHL defenseman selected, one of only 14 in Canada for the U17 tournament to represent Canada, literally this afternoon
Coach Wilson: "Nah, gotta play this other guy, he has long hair and can swing his stick at guys.'
There has to be something more than a healthy scratch.

You could have said the same thing about Stevie Leskovar and he became an OHL player.
Probably didn’t follow the coaches around like a lost dog all summer so this is his punishment.
