Conflicting Reports on Rangers Pursuit of McCabe

I've found two conflicting reports on the Rangers and Bryan McCabe. I'll let you guess which one I think is true...

Eklund at HockeyBuzz says...

"The Rangers are interested heavily in Boyle and McCabe."

While John Dellapina at The Blueshirts Blog reports...

"Facts are: with young defensemen in the pipeline; with younger, better offensive types such as Brian Campbell and Dan Boyle possibly coming on the free-agent market in July; and with tightening up their defense more of a priority than adding an own-zone-challenged blueline bomber to the point of their forward-driven power play, the Rangers have no interest in acquiring McCabe."

Dellapina also weighs in on Snubgate...

"Despite countless requests for sit-downs with Sather leading up to Tuesday’s trade deadline, we’ve repeatedly been told by the team’s PR department that he’ll talk when there’s something to talk about.

Guess Jagr’s status on the NEW YORK Rangers was something worthy of talking about with the reporter who serves EDMONTON fans...

...it is a slap in the face to Rangers fans who have every right to expect their GM to be accessible and accountable to the local media."

...back to the McCabe rumor. I think I'll have to go with Dellapina's account. Although, he's the one saying that Sather doesn't talk to Ranger beat writers so maybe Eklund is right on this one.

...oh yeah and McCabe can keep his four measley goals and $5.75 per year for the next three years contract in Toronto. We don't need them.
