herman said:Still very early goings, but what do we think of Easton Cowan cracking the opening night roster next season (even if it's just for a cup of coffee <9 game flyer)?
There are some things to iron out in his game: similar stride/stance issues to Robertson, developing his shot further, stick-penalties, but he clearly is a nice pick on an upward trajectory.

Trading Lafferty was done specifically to make room for Minten. If Minten had a mediocre camp the odds of Lafferty still being on the team at the end of camp (and the Leafs needing to start the season with a 20-man roster) would have increased dramatically.
Sure, Reaves never should have been signed and if he wasn't Lafferty would still be here too. But prior to camp Lafferty and Reaves were both expected to be on the team. Minten's play is what forced him out.

herman said:I think those are all great points. I still think he makes it a tough call for them.
For your size concerns, Cowan is reported by Leafs training camp to be 5'11" 185 lbs, which is a stouter Mitch Marner (6', 180) or a bigger Nick Robertson/Brayden Point (5'10", 178). Cowan's a farm boy too, not an erstwhile gamer.

Hildeby was the only reason the game was close going into the third. Solid and calm is the best way to describe him. He looks like the real deal.herman said:https://twitter.com/nickbarden/status/1737681221084156395
Things are chugging along nicely for the 3 prospects herman had latched onto with almost zero viewing:
- Topi
- Hildeby
- Cowan
Gonna need some new ones at this rate.
