Cowan is not a C prospect. His value is around a late 1st
A bunch of teams were in on Laughton at the deadline, and I doubt the Leafs were the only one offering a 1st for him. He’s been a good #3 C for most of his career. If he plays like he did with the Flyers, and with a 1.5 mil cap hit, there will be no shortage of playoff teams willing to move a 2nd for him at the deadline.
So I make that late 1st + 2nd + 3rd. Pretty reasonable return for a 60 pt guy who will be 35 when the season starts.
I expect other teams could make better offers. But that doesn’t matter if Kadri has no interest in playing anywhere but Calgary or Toronto.
