"The Toronto Maple Leafs don't have a whole lot of storylines heading into training camp but one that will be at the top of every fan's mind is whether or not prospect Easton Cowan will get a little taste in the NHL. As Leafs rookie camp opened up Thursday, it was evident that the 20-year-old was getting a whole lot of attention."
"Hot off a Memorial Cup win with the OHL's London Knights, Cowan is entering his first full year of professional hockey -- it now just depends on if he can beat out some regular NHLers to get a spot on the Maple Leafs to open the season. Or, impress enough to maybe get a brief appearance at the start and then get sent down to the AHL's Toronto Marlies to truly hone in his craft."
Easton Cowan, 20, drew heavy attention at Maple Leafs rookie camp, appearing frequently in drills and at the center of activity throughout the day. Cowan recently won the Memorial Cup with the OHL's London Knights and is beginning his first full professional season. Camp deployment showed Cowan skating with center Jacob Quillan and winger Borya Valis during line drills. The Leafs prospects will play exhibition games against the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators at the Bell Centre. Cowan can either earn a Maple Leafs roster spot to open the season or receive a brief NHL look before assignment to the AHL's Toronto Marlies for development.
