Easton Cowan: A Star in the Making or Simply Riding a Hot Streak?

Easton Cowan’s point streak has everyone talking. Tying Doug Gilmour’s 55-game record is impressive, no doubt, but does it really hold the same weight considering it spans two seasons? Is this a testament to Cowan’s exceptional skill, the strength of the London Knights, a bit of both, or something else entirely?

He’s a projected lock for the World Juniors, but what kind of impact will he have on the international stage? Will this momentum translate to continued success, or will the pressure prove too much?

Cowan’s return to the OHL raises some interesting questions. Was this the right move for his development? Would he have benefited more from facing tougher competition, even in a limited role with the Marlies?

Let’s hear your thoughts. Is Cowan the real deal, or is this just a fleeting moment of brilliance? What does his future hold in the NHL? Is this a sign of great things to come, or are we getting ahead of ourselves?
