""He looks bigger, and I think for him there's no doubting what he's capable of," Morgan Rielly said of the top prospect. "He's put that on display, and just making the jump is challenging, no matter who you are. As his teammates, we want to support him and help everyone as we get going here.""
""He just seems a lot more comfortable in what every day's gonna bring so far," John Tavares said about Cowan. "Has a much better understanding of just what training camp's all about, playing at the NHL level, and what the standard is, the expectations are. Not trying to do too much, but having just naturally let his talent and his skillset come out just through his work ethic.""
Easton Cowan, the Memorial Cup MVP with the London Knights last season, is a top prospect vying for a Toronto Maple Leafs roster spot. Coaches and the general manager have publicly encouraged his progress. Veteran teammates Morgan Rielly and John Tavares praised his larger physical presence, capability, and growing comfort with NHL standards. Rielly noted Cowan looks bigger and has displayed what he is capable of, while Tavares highlighted a better understanding of training camp expectations and a willingness to let his skillset emerge through work ethic. Cowan must perform strongly in the remainder of training camp and in preseason games to earn a spot.
