NHL Trade Rumors: Maple Leafs reject multiple trade offers

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to be a team to watch on the NHL's trade market. General manager John Chayka has been busy since he took over revamping the roster, and there's certainly more moves to come for the Leafs. However, don't expect to see Easton Cowan traded, as the former first-round pick has moved up the lineup, taking over for Gavin McKenna on Toronto's second line, and despite tons of trade interest, the team won't be moving Cowan anytime soon.

Elliotte Friedman: Re Easton Cowan/Maple Leafs: I hesitate to say that guys are off the market because I think we're learned that nothing is ever guaranteed, but they're not looking to do anything here, they're very happy with him - NHL Now (10/2)

Cowan is off to a hot start under head coach Jim Hiller, who really loves the way the forward works his tail off, and is a puck hound for his linemates. Cowan's worked on his game a ton this past offseason, and is building off of his AHL Calder Cup with the Toronto Marlies.

Cowan, 21, has this season and next left on his entry-level contract, making $900,000 average annual value. This season in four games, the London Knights product has posted one goal and two assists, for three points, seeing an average of 14:22 of ice-time per game.

The Maple Leafs moved Matthew Knies, and when they did so, multiple teams reached out about Cowan's availability. For now, he stays, and all signs are pointing to Cowan being a major part of this team's core moving forward.
