Easton Cowan is one of those players, and the standout forward has been nothing short of impressive in his time with London. But it seems now that he will get to showcase his skills on the international stage, this time though is a bit less surprising.
TSN's Mark Masters notes that Cowan is more than likely going to gain a roster spot, and indicated that his departure from camp prematurely signals the team no longer needs to see if he develops into something they need; clearly he is and is headed back to Leafs camp to train. If he does make the NHL roster, he would be able to play for Canada but if he's on a hot streak perhaps the Leafs may be hesitant at first.
