pretty sure the poster you quoted isn't serious and is just trying to stir the pot, either that or he hasn't seen the players he is absurdly proposing.

You sound real petty right now. I’ve read your posts and you consistently whine about the leafs. I suggest growing up and respond with a little class.

Come on now the rangers would be doing jumping jacks if they got that haul for him. Are you speaking for rangers fan or is this your lame attempt to antagonize a fan base?
Haha. All you read about in these threads is how great the Leafs are and it's funny. I don't think that's petty.
He does have some sources. He just makes tons of shit up as well.
Because a team that wasn't linked via rumours has never made a big trade before? Were there any Subban for Weber rumours? Johansen for Jones? Phaneuf to OTT? Nothing leaks from Toronto though I do agree with that.
I doubt it would be a bunch of youth for him. I don't see any situation where McDonagh becomes a Leaf and Gardiner isn't going the other way. Rielly-McDonagh-Gardiner-Dermott as our LD makes no sense whatsoever. It would have to be something like Gardiner + a 1st. That keeps the Rangers from being a lotto team while still getting more prospects.

Playoff team absolutely. I guess if you equate being in the playoffs as being a contender, you are right to a degree. A serious contender like they can get through Boston/Tampa or both, one of whom will have McD.....no.
With the way our scouting staff has drafted the last few years they deserve the chance to use those picks and see how the prospects develop. It’s not like we are short on time with a closing window. Our 3 most important players are 21 or younger. Let’s really find out what we have before we make our all in move. McD is a fantastic Dman no doubt, but as such would cost a ton to acquire and a ton to re-sign. Right at the same time we have to re-sign those 3 kids. So really it would be giving up part of the future for just 1 full season + 1 playoff run.
Yes the Leafs are 6th. But they also would have probably the hardest path to the finals of any team in the league.
Boston and Tampa have been the 2 best teams in the league this season and they would be our first 2 round opponents. After that it gets hard to predict who would be in the conference finals but it will likely either be the Pens who won the last 2 cups or it will probably be the team that finally managed to beat the back to back champs.

no That is not how I judge a contender. I do it by asking myself does a team have certain things they as follows
a #1 C? check The Leafs have Matthews so they have a franchise C
If they do have a top line C do they have a supporting cast around him well...
Nylander, Marner, JVR, Marleau, Kadri, Brown Hyman they all have at least 10 goals and most of them either have hit 20, or should baring injury, so check.
if the team has #1 and 2 does it have a legitimate #1 goalie but #1 and 2 do not matter if you have no goalie.
Well while he is unlikely to win it, at this current pace Fredrik Andersen should get nominated for the Vezina so Check.
Does the team have a solid blue line?
this is where the weakness is, of that there is no question however, Reilly is playing like a #1 D manJake Gardiner and Nikita Zaitsev are both top 4 guys and Travis Dermott sure looks like a top 4 and when you lookm at the D core the pens won with the last 2 years, espically last year when they did it without Letang, you do want an improvement on the back end for sure but that Blue is not any worse than what the Pens won with, particularly last year so check.
Yes the Leafs are a contender, people refuse to accept it because the rebuild was so damn short, but it is time they accept the fact that Toronto has a chance to win the cup this year, although I would say it more likely next year.
But it is certainly possible this year.

Something less than what most Ranger fans think and more than what most Leafs fans think.

I have no interest in dealing multiple youth pcs for a little over a year of McD.

Mike Babcock doesn't even know what GM Lou is going to do on the trade front, how the hell would this hack Eklund know.
I noticed that the "Eklund Rumor" flair is an interesting shade of brown. Clever use of colors there mods
