According to a report in the Toronto Star, the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers are taking a close look at Toronto winger Darcy Tucker ahead of the February 27th trade deadline.

According to Star sources, both Alberta clubs are in "tire-kicking" mode when it comes to Tucker, who will be an unrestricted free agent after this season.

"I'm probably a prototypical guy for a Western Conference team, so these things (trades) will be talked about," Tucker said.

Tucker also noted, however, that he would like to remain in Toronto beyond 2007.

"I've said from Day One I want to be a Leaf. I'd love to stay here and be part of a championship team," Tucker said. (Lawls.)


"But the fact is I'm unrestricted at the end of the year, and when you don't have a long-term contract, these (trade rumours) come up."

Prior to suffering a foot injury that has kept him out of the lineup since December 26, Tucker led the Leafs with 19 goals.

Someone should tell tucker to make up his mind. Which one is it? Does he want to be part of the leafs or does he want to be part of a championship team?

The Habs should trade Samsonov for little mother Tucker.

Tucker's foot is now in a cast as of a few days ago. Looks like that 3-4 weeks of rest didn't help his problem.

This is a major change in direction for the leafs.
Instead of "Wait until next year" it's "Wait for ten years."

Tucker may be ready to play by next Saturday. It is a small stress fracture and they don't want to take a chance, with the team playing well right now. Leafs should trade Tucker, while he is still worth something. The team is winning without him and his value will never be as high as it is today. Edmonton is the probable destination because the Leafs are unwilling to pay him 12 million over 4 years. Don't rule out Anaheim either.
