Would you consider the current version of the Leafs to be competitive?

There is a difference between competitive and being a legitimate contender.
Competitive isnt enough but yes I see the Leafs as a top 5 contender right now,
they have Matthews, Marner and Nylander all in the same window and they are getting decent goaltending and have character guys like Tanev.
I dont think anyone wants the next 10 years of Flames history to be a bubble team with maybe 1 cinderella run where were an underdog.
