If every Eklund rumor is going to start with "I know it's Eklund, but", maybe we should just stop posting his rumors.

Let's stop posting his rumors because the mob has scared everyone into either not sharing them or prefacing their posts to guard against being strung up for doing so... or I guess that we could try to be adults and discuss them, anyways, since discussion is good. Nah, let's just do the former.

A. Cost to acquire (will be to high IMO)
B. 1.5 years until he is 30 and due a monster contract
C. I don't think he makes us a contender

I'll focus on C for now because A is subjective and B is OK since we are ass young as we are.

What else would you need, you got the elite offense, you got the elite goaltending, you add Mcdonagh and pair him with Reilly and bump Hainsey down to fix the bottom pair which has kind of been a mishmash of Borgman/Carrick/Polak

what else do you need?

the assets that can help us be a actual contender in the future, and not throwing it away for mcdonagh

If you have been watching the games you know they are an actual contender now, like right now today February 15 2018, those that do not think they are, are living in denial

if you have been watching the games, you know they get outshot, outplayed, rely on their goalie to bail them out like 2013. its virtually the same built team, good offence, weak defense, good goaltending. thats not a contender

we'd have to give up a lot for him, something i wouldn't wanna do

Same. If were giving up the assets, its for a natural right hand shot defender. we cant just put him on the right and expect him to succeed. Plus our left side is already stacked if he does fail

do you even know who these players are?
Of course.

Kapanen is former 1st rounder who has not quite lived up to his hype and Dermott is nothing special.

For Toronto to get McD, they would have to start with either Marner / Nylander.

#1 Dman - You best be prepared to part with 1 of your top young players.

McDonagh isn't the difference between how we last played against Boston and beating the Bruins in a 7 game series.

He basically means that Toronto would only have him for 18 months and are incapable of signing him after his contract is up.
Incapable? Hard to say until we know what Matthews/Marner/Nylander get....but will they want to re-sign a 30 year old to a long term high dollar contract?
