Looks like "Corksy and Tucksy" are on their way out of T.O. Corson said last week he would not waive his no-trade clause if the Leafs would fine a taker, so the Leafs have apparently decided to move best friend and brother-in-law Darcy Tucker Instead. Obviously they're hoping Corksy would throw a hissy fit and allow a trade out of T.O. So anyways, there's lots of talk on another board that both Corson and Tucker would be welcomed back with open arms Now if you know me at all, you know my stance on this by now. Again, I would become a Wild or Blue Jackets fan if I ever saw either one of these guys in the blue, blanc et rouge ever again. But what do you guys think? Would you take one or both of these guys back?

If you have to take a chance on a guy that will agitate the other team while being a disruption in the dressing room I would much prefer Fleury over either one of those whinning, over rated sucks. I think they are exactly where they belong..on the team from hell.

I should say that to my knowledge there have been no rumours linking either of these guys with Montreal, I'm just wondering you guys opinions because the response on habfans is really in favour of getting one or both of them back here.
Cripes, get Scatchard and Wiemer from the Islanders. They're younger, cheaper, and better...and without the stupid, yappy comments after every whistle.
I swear it looks more like Tucker married Corson, I think this whole Corson's sister thing is a cover-up.
These two make Dopita look like a worthwhile pick-up...

I would take Tucker back. No question about it. Get rid of Perreault and Audette, this is how we could look:
Zednik/Koivu/Czerk Bulis/Tucker/Petrov Kilger/Juneau/Dackell Lindsay/Gilmour/Mckay
If this team plays half decent defence (from all 5 guys on the ice) we'd only have to get 200 goals to have a good season. 65 from the first line, 55 from the second, 45 from the third, 15 from the fourth, and 20 from the D. This would work.

You couldn't pay me to cheer for those two a$$holes. I hope Tucker gets sent to a west coast team so I don't have to see his act ever again while our good buddy Shayne...well my wish for him is to enjoy all his money from the Leafs and help lead them back to the basement where they belong. Maybe they can resign him to another 4 year/$9 million contract.

I don't believe Toronto is trying to trade Tucker. IT CAME FROM AL SCRATCHEN, this guy is never right. The Leafs won't get much for either of them I believe because there cancers to a team. I would rather go for Isbister or someone else like that.

I was actually discussing Shayne Corson with a friend today. Corson used to be one of my favorite players, but something seemed to have happened to him in Toronto. Was he always this yapping? Did he always fight with teammates like this? Did he always dive so embarrassingly? He seems to be a shell of the player he used to be. No, I don't want him back.
Don't want Tucker back either. He has a shelf-life of about three years in an organization, seems to tick off his own teammates as much as opposing players. As the Rangers are proving (again) chemistry is often much, much more important than on-ice production.
There is agitating, and there is being a puke. No Tucker for me either.

Nope.
Tucker sure brings the roughness, grit and all but he's also a dressing room cancer that is more often then not part of the problem rather then the solution.
Corson I'd love to get him back without that no trade clause... As a big thank you for dropping the HABS and it's fans like dead wood, we'd right away trade him back to some great, exotic hockey town like Nashville or Columbus. Thank you Shayne... ;D

Corson I think will wave his no trade clause because when he realizes no one wants him on Toronto he will wave it because he is not wanted.

Out of the two, I'd want Tucker more. I hate him more, but I'd want him more. He's still fairly young and can keep up. Corson, once one of my favourite Habs, is a shadow of his former self, even though he's supposedly better than he was before. Plus, he sold out pretty good.
That being said, I don't see either of them coming here -- dealing within the division could be deadly and even Quinn's not so dense that he'd deal an impact player that could come back to beat him in the playoffs...

I was a big corson fan when he was on montreal. That being said i wouldn't want him not because i dislike him but because he's getting on in years. Tucker I would take for sure he's younger, tough and can score, as well as getting under the other teams skin. Both these guys when they are on your team you love them and when they are on the opposition you hate them. Just like claude lemiux if he is not on your team you tend not to like the guy much. Another thing about Corson i feel that alot of you forget when he was on the habs and what he brought to the team. Just remember that when your ripping him up.

Though both bring something to the table living in Toronto I've really lost whatever respect I had for these to clowns.Their act sure runs thin after a while. On the other hand if your a team thats very close to winning you may just get what you need if the timing is right,but when you have the chance dump 'em like yesterdays garbage. HFTO

Looks like there was some substance to Al Strachan's column after all. Go figure the odds, eh.
I was a Shayne Corson supporter until he dumped the team and it's fans outright. He can cite all the reasons he wants, but basically lied, looked after himself, and moved on. And, as BC referred to, he has changed somewhat since going to Toronto. To add a little to that, during last year's playoffs it was the first time I had seen Corson pounded out so convincingly. Like, no chance ... only two sounds ... he getting hit and he hitting the ice!
Thanks for coming out Shayne.
Tucker can bring a lot to the table. He is an agitator there's no doubting that. But, he's obviously an agitator off the ice as well. Don't get me wrong, guys, bringing in Tucker would raise the talent and toughness of our team, but if it were left up to me to bring him in ....
In all honesty though, let Frick and Frack find other dressingrooms to hang their baggage in. Cheers.

This would work. I would gladly give you one for Perreault. I've never forgiven Quinn for letting him go. If we couldn't get Perreault, then as far as I am concerned, Quinn had better NOT get rid of them. I'm no Corson fan, but he helps in the Playoffs whe he is healthy. It might be true, but I have a sneaking suspicion this is just another false rumour started by the Toronto Media. Toronto Media drives me up the wall with all their garbage and false rumours.

Tucker can score some goals - he does have some 20 goal seasons behind him. But his behaviour seems worse in Toronto. teaming up with the brother-in-law has brought out the worst in him & he just isn't worth the trouble.
Corson is washed up. He is 36, very slow, can't score and can't fight anymore ( witness the beating he took from Eric Cairns). It should be interesting to see what TO gets for these guys. Not many teams will take the pair and I think Tucker is the one with the value.
If Corson moves at least I won't have do watch those stupid City TV promos with Kathryn Humphries (their resident groupie/sportscaster) fawning all over him. You Toronto viewers will know what I am talking about.

TEXTTEXTTEXT Corson has had his best years and he has slowed down and because of the new rules on obstruction he can no longer clutch and grab and just coast thru a game like he use to. he would be useless to montreal , the habs are a speedy team and even gilmour can skate faster backwards than corson can forwards . Tucker , can be usefull, how i don't know.

Nah - we do not need an old timer and a cheap shot yapper. How about Yuskevitch from Florida. He would be better than Quintal or Traverse, and is strong in front of the net

I'd be all over bringing back Tucker. He plays big, isn't afraid to work hard, and does have offensive talent. He'd be a great second liner for us. I hate Corson, on the other hand.

Thank you all very much...I was beginning to think my absolute hate for the Leafs had blinded me.
I'm glad 99% of you see these two for what they are. Immature little pukes running around like they own the city.
They remind me of the bully in school that no one would say anything bad about to their face, but just laugh at them when they leave the room.

Bob McKenzie is saying Tucker is the most likely to be dealt.
Sundin, Mogilny, Kaberle, McCabe and Antropov are all untouchable
Reichel, McCauley, Corson and Green are worth nothing
''Tucksy'' is the only guy worth enough to make a big trade on the market..

Do I want them playing for the Hab’s? Only if the Hab’s were a carnival act. On the other hand, if I wanted my toilet scrubbed with some attitude I would hire both of this guys. By the way Ryan. They say people who really hate something sometimes are suppressing a deeper love and are denying it. So, how much do you say you hate the Leafs?

Now you could be on to something here HA... But if that's true, I'll tell you, I'm freaking madly in love with that team. I must love their moron fans too quite a bit too ;D You know though, I can't blame them for going overboard after every win if that's how the team reacts to pulling a win from outta their butts. By the way...I think I have really deep love for Limp Bizkit too then

By the way...I think I have really deep love for Limp Bizkit too then I knew it, I knew it, I knew it............. You know, I learned everything I know about psychology from extensive watching and deep understanding of the Saturday morning cartoons. One never knows what one can learn about deep human emotions from people like Bugs Bunny and Foghorn Leghorn. Take BC for example, he has would have much better success with the ladies if he started studying the brilliant teaching and methods of Pepe Le Pew. Hate can sometimes bury a deep love and affection. Take for example my deep dislike for Therrien………oh my God….…oh no………oh noooooo…..…….I’m in love……….. *looking for my Popiel Lobotomatic*

Corson and Tucker would add some real grit to the Habs, sorry, Mackay and Lindsay dont hack it.
It wont happen tho, inter division trades usually dont happen mid season
