As Toronto’s Director of Amateur Scouting Wes Clark inched closer to the mic, I told those around me, “it wouldn’t surprise me at all if this were Easton Cowan.” It turns out that even a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while.
Did I have insider information about the Leafs and Cowan? No. Did I have insider information about Cowan’s rapid rise on many teams’ draft boards? Yes.
1. I'm starting to believe that there is a chance that Easton Cowan ends up being a top 40 selection. If I was a betting man, I'd bet on it.
