Toronto Maple Leafs Make Concerning Decision Involving Easton Cowan
Easton Cowan had a middle-of-the-road debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs at the rookie tournament, and now, a concerning decision has been made.
Yesterday, the Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Ottawa Senators in a rookie tournament game that wasn't exactly a good look for the team's prospects.
They lost by a score of 4-3, and there were times when it was clear that they didn't have the size or the offensive prowess to compete.
Even the goaltending was shakey at times, which had some fans concerned about what the Toronto Marlies will look like this season.
Meanwhile, even Easton Cowan had garnered some concern, mainly due to the fact that he wasn't the best player on the ice on Saturday.

Today, the Leafs were taking on the Montreal Canadiens, and surprisingly, Cowan was not on the roster whatsoever.
This led to some concern, as many figured that Cowan would be getting as much playing time as possible, especially during this portion of the season.
Below, you can find the lineup for today's game, which actually came through with a 4-1 victory.

Hopefully, we get to see Cowan during the preseason, where he will play against much better competition.
At this stage, it does feel as though the forward is destined to start off his career in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies.
