Report: Maple Leafs' Desire To Deal Easton Cowan Decreasing Given Great Training Camp, Hot Start To 2026-27

Easton Cowan has emerged as an early offensive leader for the Toronto Maple Leafs during the opening stretch of the 2026-27 NHL campaign. The twenty-one-year-old winger paces the club with three points, recording an assist in a three-to-two defeat against the Montreal Canadiens followed by a goal and an assist in a victory over the New York Islanders.

Analyst Elliotte Friedman reported that Cowan's strong training camp and immediate regular-season production have elevated his standing within the franchise, significantly reducing management's interest in moving him via trade. Head coach Jim Hiller previously highlighted the youngster's persistent forechecking and disruptive play style during the opening practices of camp.
