"The young player has improved his skills and is more confident than he was when he first joined the team, which is great news and shows that he is developing. However, he is just 20 years old and has time to grow into the player the Toronto Maple Leafs need him to be. This could mean making an appearance in a few preseason games before being sent to the Toronto Marlies for the season. He is a great option to have as a call-up if needed."
"Cowan spoke with Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun about his summer of training and said, "It all went well, I put on weight and got better." According to his agent, Dave Maloney, not only did he gain weight, coming in at around 190 lbs, but he also grew taller, at 6 feet tall. The young right-winger is determined to make the team - but the Leafs will survive if he doesn't."
Easton Cowan, a 20-year-old right winger, was drafted 28th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs after playing for the London Knights. He scored 29 goals in 46 games and won the 2025 Memorial Cup, earning the Stafford Smythe Trophy as tournament MVP. Cowan added size over the summer, reaching about 6 feet and 190 lbs, and reported improvements in strength and confidence. A season with the Toronto Marlies would provide professional seasoning, make him a reliable call-up option, and allow time for development toward NHL readiness.
