Easton Cowan’s Game Has Changed, and the League Noticed

Easton Cowan is not playing like the same kid who showed up last season, and that matters more than the usual prospect chatter. The step forward is real enough that it is forcing people to look at him differently, which is usually when the noise around a player starts getting interesting. In this league, that kind of jump changes the conversation fast, because once a young player starts proving he belongs, the next question is how high the ceiling really goes.
