The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent lineup adjustments indicate that there is no other logical position for their top rookie, Easton Cowan.
The team has been significantly impacted by injuries, including the loss of Scott Laughton during preseason and Steven Lorentz's upper-body injury on Saturday night. Additionally, Joseph Woll is currently on leave due to an undisclosed personal matter.
These injuries have led to a reshuffling of the forward group, with Coach Craig Berube making adjustments to accommodate replacements. One such replacement is Easton Cowan, who made the team out of camp but has yet to play this season.
However, it appears that fans won't have to wait much longer to see Cowan in action, as he is expected to make his debut on Monday night, heading straight to a top-line position rather than the fourth line.
Coach Craig Berube has had to shift his pieces around to accommodate replacements.
