Going by that logic, the trades/proposals forum shouldn't even exist since most of them are outlandish and wouldn't happen. Not to mention they serve as fuel for fanbases to engage in flaming wars.
Yup trade proposals are just as stupid. Really really stupid. Its like fantasizing about stuff that will never happen. Whats the point? Why not discuss reality. Whats going on for realz with the Leafs and other teams.
Whats the point of putting together a stupid trade like we've seen on these forums a whole lot of times? I don't understand. Given that fanbases are never ever realistic about the quality of players that they are trading. Hilarious.
Did anybody see Creszenzi for Kozun deal coming ? (or whatever their names are)? Or how about Gleason for Liles? Did someone propose that one? No..because thats reality. Listen to GMs including Nonis....the all say the same thing. Its not easy to make a trade in the Capworld.

Do you only fantasize about things that happen? Because that's seriously the least imaginative mind in human history if so.
Guy: Hey man, what are you day-dreaming about?
HF: Going to work and doing my job then going home, cooking dinner, taking a poop and going to bed.
Guy: Isn't that, just... you know, what you're actually doing?
HF: A man can dream... a man can dream...
Guy: Dude WTF... seek help!
I'd assume you're posting the same nonsense in the 'Kessel's Future' thread, or any other of the number of 'we must get rid of so an so immediately threads'?
This is a message board, a good 90 percent of the posts are based in fantasy.
Some posters even comment on teams without even watching the games....
You guys need a hobby. I fantasize all the time..about being independently wealthy..about having sex with hot women that wouldn't look twice at me..about having a dream job in a dream location....tons of stuff. Do I go onto forums and post them and then argue with others that my fantasy is greater than theirs? No because that is Pejorative Slured, its just fantasy.
So then you understand the point of this thread isn't to assert the notion that the Leafs will win the Stanley Cup? Because if you do, then your objections earlier look even more silly.
No...I did not post in the Kessel thread. I dont know why you think I did. What does it say? Maybe we could trade Kessel and Bozak for Toews and Kane? And then responses by intelligent Leafs fans saying..I wouldnt do that deal in a million years unless the Hawks threw in Keith?
Of course I WANT the Leafs to win the SC. I have been waiting 4 decades for it. But which teams they play...how many games it takes...who the MVP would be...all that crap is nonsense. I mean once you see the matchups..then make your predicitions. If the Leafs make the Cup final..start talking MVP...\
How bout the Leafs and the Nation focuses on making the playoffs eh? The team hasn't won a playoff round since 2004 and now we are fantasizing aloud about winning the Cup? Lunacy.
I might as well start a thread on which Leafs will win hardware this year. Lets see...If Kessel gets on fire and Crosby and OV get hurt..he can win both the Rocket Richard and Art Ross. If Bernier post 12 shutouts by the years end....Vezina. If Reilly pots 50 points...Calder. etc. etc. etc.

people seem to not understand
this is a FANTASY THREAD, DURP
if you dont like it, LEAVE BUDDY
the DOOR IS THERE !
Here are my ideal Stanley Cup playoffs:
Round 1: Toronto defeats Boston Bruins in 7 games
Toronto redeems themselves for last year's game 7 collapse. They exorcise the Bruins demons once and for all. Phil Kessel scores 4 goals and 4 assists in the series.
Round 2: Toronto defeats Montreal Canadiens in 5 games
Toronto with home ice advantage. Toronto wins the first three games. Game three ends with epic fights. Gallagher vs Kadri. Phaneuf vs. Subban. Lupul vs Moen. McLaren vs Gorges. Orr vs Bourque. Gleason vs Prust. Montreal is absolutely bloodied. Toronto loses game four in Montreal, and the Gazette's front page headline says "Espoir". In game 5, Gallagher then gets a 2-minute minor in overtime for embellishment, and Kadri ends up scoring the overtime winner in the ensuing power play to advance the Leafs to the conference finals for the first time since 2002.
Round 3: Toronto defeats Pittsburgh Penguins in 4 games
Phaneuf shuts down Crosby. Phaneuf finishes the series with 29 minutes of ice time per game on average and a +2 rating . Crosby finishes the series with 1 goal, 1 assist, and a -3. Fleury implodes again in the playoffs and has a 3.87 GAA while Bernier shuts the door and records three shutouts in this 4-game sweep.
Round 4: Toronto defeats Vancouver Canucks in 7 games
Vancouver with home ice advantage. Vancouver wins the first three games of the series and Team 1040 radio starts planning the Cup parade around the Rocky Mountains. Then Toronto wins game 4 in overtime. Leafs fans go crazy. Vancouver bloggers say "Don't worry, we got this."
Then Toronto wins game 5 in overtime again at the Rogers Centre. The Vancouver fans in the arena let out a collective gasp. They don't want to admit it, but they are feeling the heat. Team 1040 hand waves the issue and says they just need to double shift the Sedin line with another winger in order to secure a game 6 victory.
Game six is in Toronto. In game 6, the game is tied 1-1, and Henrik Sedin is all alone on a breakaway with 1 minute left in the third period. Bernier pulls a Tim Thomas and launches out of his crease and concusses Henrik Sedin with a clean shoulder check. Phaneuf retrieves the puck and makes a cross-ice pass to send Clarkson on a breakaway. Clarkson pulls off the Peter Forsberg inside-outside dangle and scores. Vancouver pulls their goalie and Bernier scores an empty netter. Gardiner Expressway traffic slows to a crawl - it takes 4+ hours for people to get home.
In game 7, in Vancouver, the Leafs go up 5-0 quickly in the first period and chase Luongo out of the net. Leafs throw out goon line and McClement line for the rest of the game, because Carlyle has class and won't run up the score. Even though the game is in Vancouver, half the arena is filled with Leafs fans, so you can audibly hear the crowd count down from 10, 9, 8, .... 3, 2, 1 and then the ending buzzer sounds.
Kessel wins the Conn Smythe.
Sweep Ottawa, Boston, Montreal and Vancouver, in that order.
