Leafs top prospect Easton Cowan sends a message to his doubters
With the Toronto Maple Leafs looking ahead to next season, all eyes are on young prospect Easton Cowan, who just shared a message to those who doubt his abilities.
When he was selected in the first round in last year's NHL draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, a lot of fans didn't know who Easton Cowan was. However, after this season in junior, the whole world knows his name. Cowan has had an incredible year with the London Knights of the OHL, tallying 96 points in 54 games for the squad and breaking records as he did it.
His success has continued when the pressure rises, as he has had an incredible streak of performances in the playoffs for the Knights as well this season.
