Jets need a 2nd C more than the Leafs do.

 

[Buffdog]

Jets pass

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t see the fit between these teams on these players

 

[Heldig]

Bad idea for the Jets. And Cowan does not have that kind of value (yet).

Leafs don't need a future 2nd line center. McDavid is developing nicely on the Edmonton farm team and will be ready for the role in 2 years.

 

[kylbaz]

Better than most leaf proposals

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Jets would LOVE to have Cowan, especially as they just picked up Yager since I think those two would compliment each other tremendously (and just might, for team Canada at WJC) but not at the cost of a current top 6 roster player on an actively competing and contending team.

I dont think Toronto does it either, we need those ELC years from our top prospect and Perfetti doesn't have a contract yet (which would be tough for Toronto to sign him and Robertson) and isn't good enough yet to be a 2c ahead of JT, imo.

 

[Hunter368]

Cowan in a interesting late 1st rd prospect, but totally unproven, I would like him but certainly not for Cole P who is far more proven. Plus Cole potentially fills the need of a center on the Jets, far more important then any winger need on the Jets. Hard no from the Jets, but no insult meant towards Cowan.

 

[jfhabs]

If Cole Perfetti ask for a trade that would be a good return. Otherwise, Perfetti is more proven for similar upside players and the Jets are competing.

0 interest in this as a leaf fan.

Perfetti is sick, but the leafs already have their top centre - Toronto should not be trading a premium asset for someone who would top out as a 2c on Toronto.

Cowan is the cheap Marner replacement that allows the leafs to better allocate their cap as early as next season.

 

[yzerman]

Cowan is going to be to good

 

[Heldig]

Cowan is going to be to good

Probably, yes.

Not worth Perfetti though.

 

[crowi]

Perfetti is just worth more right now. WPG wouldn't.

 

[Skolman]

Leafs don't need a future 2nd line center. McDavid is developing nicely on the Edmonton farm team and will be ready for the roll in 2 years.

I thought if McDavid leaves, it will be because he wants to win?

 

[McJedi]

If the Leafs added Robertson, this feels like a deal Peg should hit. Or at least consider.

 

[MisterT]

Probably, yes.

Not worth Perfetti though.

I’d take that action. Not sure Perfetti even reaches his ceiling.

This is not a knock on the kid who I think will be a solid top six forward but if you're expecting Cowan to replace Marner you are setting yourself up for severe disappointment

No one in leaf nation is expecting Cowan to replicate the point production of Marner - that’s Marners thing through and through. He’s a point guy.

Even if Cowan tops out at a 60 point player - it will be enough to offset the loss in points Marner provides, with the the cap savings that the leafs are in need of. Cowan is excellent off the rush, can find the open space out there, and gets to the goal mouth to finish plays. Marner is not that guy, he’s more of a finess guy like Nylander and Matthews (somewhat).

We already have our top wingers in Nylander and Knies; and Domi is excellent on the top line with Matthews.

Marner is becoming redundant in Toronto.

 

[ffh]

Lol. Jets aren't trading perfetti.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Easy decline

Leaf fan saying he ain’t coming

I think that swings the value too far but it’s not horrible as a base , especially if there is a pic or another semi interesting player involved . I don’t think they move Cowan due to him being an elc they desperately need to offset the big boys; But if they did Perfetti would be a get potentially

Easy pass from the JETS

 

[Djp]

Typical Totonto deal. They think their prospects are just as good as top 10 picks.

 

[aniketus]

Doesn't work the Jets also need a 2nd line center. Either it's Perfetti Yager or Lambert. They also have enough undersized prospects and wingers.
