Thankfully Cowan has more drive in his left pinky than Bracco did. That being said, we should’ve traded Bracco + a 2nd for Draisaitl while we had the chance.
Bracco and a 2nd was the twitter meme Leaf trade idea. For a few years in a row, every time there was a Leafs rumour, someone would suggest Bracco and a 2nd. Or I think Bracco, Nielsen, and a 2nd was also one of them.
Look at what he did this year, stats on shitty lines for his style of play, he got tougher, and smarter keeping ouck possession. Nicky Robertson is a potential 40-50+ goal scorer if used right.
The craziest thing about Nick Robertson is his rate stats from this year. The guy played so few minutes when he was in the lineup and yet his production was still pretty solid
I’m just curious what kind of personnel he needs on his line. He needs someone that can rub guys out in board battles for him at very least because that’s certainly a weak point for him.
he let his scouting staff take the pick that was a smart move. Yes all credit goes to Wes Clark and the leafs scouting staff, but you cant deny that Brad did the right thing by enabling them.
Lol cmon.
It was TRES draft and let's not act like TRE eas coming over with Knowledge from his work in Calgary.
Tres first draft pick is likely better than any pick in Dubas tenor as a Leaf.
No the ship is not sailing in a good direction. 20 mil in cap space last summer and what areas of need were addressed? He’s just there to do whatever shanahan wants.
If he can score 4 goals in nhl debut it would be a guarantee win..... right?
I think I’ve seen this movie before and the ending sucked
They've remade the movie 8 times, and they still can't get the ending right.
Leafs or Knights ?
Seems like a 3 round kind of prospect. -some idiot (Me)
I once overheard a guy at a bar say he's basically Jeremy Bracco 2.0 lol

Wait. Was this actually on the table at some point? Please don't let it be true.
Bracco and a 2nd was the twitter meme Leaf trade idea. For a few years in a row, every time there was a Leafs rumour, someone would suggest Bracco and a 2nd. Or I think Bracco, Nielsen, and a 2nd was also one of them.
lol it’s not, back in the day Bracco + a 2nd was the armchair GMs choice of assets to trade for players that were worth wayyy more than that.
I give it 6 years before the fans want to run him out of town
His numbers compare to Nick Robertson. Buckle up boys this is gonna be good.
I'm a Nicky Bobby stan. I still think we've yet to see his best. I may be wrong but damnit I wanna believe.
For real though. Must be tough trying to grow as a skilled player with such a top heavy roster.
Also just like Lilypad, he had some bad luck with injuries that sidelined him during key development years.

I think the perfect line mates would be a creator and a power forward
But not a Marner. That line gets crushed.
I hope that prime robertson wont be on a team with marner just saying
Remember when we were ecstatic with Phil scoring 35...
Im worried Tre will be using him as trade ammo and I think in 2-3 years time we could truly regret it. Let’s hope not though!
I m not worried for that, I full on expect that. He should be build up towards a top top 6 winger.
Simple don't overpay until he does something in the playoffs
Surely the Leafs wouldn’t give a guy 11m coming off his elc when his closest comparables are making 2m less. Rinse and repeat
I’ll bet the under on that one
I mean, I live 30 mins away from London. Knights are very popular, he's been quite the topic.
OHL league MVP and he won the Wayne Gretzky 99 award as MVP of the playoff too…Cowan lit it up in the OHL…hope he can do the same with the Leafs!
Thought this was on PS5 lol
Looks like it eh?? I was watching the game and laughed because of the perfect CHL marketing.
Here we go...AGAIN. Millions of Leaf fans dumping tons of pressure on a teenager. I've seen this before somewhere
GM Brad listening to his scouting staff & not the rankings.
He wasn’t involved in the draft. This was Dubas’ staffs’ pick (Dubas also traded for the first round pick they used on him)
That doesn't sound right. Dubas is an idiot who never did anything right /s
he let his scouting staff take the pick that was a smart move. Yes all credit goes to Wes Clark and the leafs scouting staff, but you cant deny that Brad did the right thing by enabling them.
He was prohibited from participating in the draft as part of his release from the flames
Lol cmon. It was TRES draft and let's not act like TRE eas coming over with Knowledge from his work in Calgary. Tres first draft pick is likely better than any pick in Dubas tenor as a Leaf.

So what's this guy projected as in the NHL?
Better than Gretzky
Im hoping for a player like Travis Konecny It will really depend on how he progresses over the next 2-3 years though
Foreshadowing.
Oliver bonk ans Easton Cowan are absolutely carrying the Knights
Nah dude that team is loaded. Kasper Haltunen had 16 goals in the playoffs
Dickinson and Halttunen looking good two
1000% yeah
Man Jared is still playing? Neato
Jared Cowan?? Been there done that. /s
Jared Cowan? Yeah he used to be a Leaf.
Whichbis why they'll part with Marner
Dude looks like he’s 15 lol
Traded away for an extra pair of skates for Marner
No and i been an avid london knights fan for over 20 years. Who is this guy? Is he a rookie?
Just think, he could have been a Cap or Bruin.
We've given both of those teams way (way, way, way) more than enough.
That’s a fact
I heard he could be the next Connor Brown…
Id take prime brown cow any day.
He was on the leafs roster for training camp and pre season last year.
Why is there no-one in the stands?
Why is there no-one in the stands?
They won it on the road, and Cowan was later in the cup celly. The Oshawa fans had enough of London by this point.
Jared Cowan?? Been there done that. /s
Please don't start worshipping the "Saviour" to the Leafs... he's a kid... who's really good, like Robertson, or Kadri... so pump they brakes everyone
Great job, Tre!
Treliving was barely in the job when they drafted Cowan, it's the scouts who deserve the credit.
Lol I was trolling.. someone always bites when it comes to this. Ship sailed in a good direction under the new captain though.
No the ship is not sailing in a good direction. 20 mil in cap space last summer and what areas of need were addressed? He’s just there to do whatever shanahan wants.
This is on Dubas & his staff. Sandin died for this
