Easton Cowan and Jacob Quillan were assigned to the Marlies on Friday, in time to be eligible to play in the Calder Cup playoffs. The deadline was 3 p.m. The #Leafs can call them up. They can call up up to five Marlies, though only four can be on the roster at any time.

Where do the Scott Laughton trades rank among the Leafiest things ever?
Basically a first-rounder and solid NHL prospect for a third-rounder.
Does it outdo Courntall for Kordic?
Kurvers for a first-rounder (turned into 3rd overall, S. Niedermayer)
Please add to the list.

Expecting #Leafs GMBT to be more interested in picks in 2027 and '28. He can use them as fodder for trade deadline next season, if he can get the team turned around, or he can simply use them if the team tanks.
