Update, 12:51 p.m.:
Jesse Spector tweets that scouts from Dallas, Phoenix and Tampa Bay have been credentialed for today’s Rangers/Penguins game.
…teams probably just doing their due dilligence. Not that I think he is, but for anyone who thinks Del Zotto is available don’t you think the Rangers would be playing him in games that scouts attend?
Original Post:
Jim Matheson at the Edmonton Journal reports that if a team offers Florida Panthers GM Dale Tallon a first-rounder for D Bryan McCabe, who is about to come back from a broken jaw, he’s likely gone. Although McCabe would have to waive his no-trade clause. Matheson adds that the Rangers might chase him.
McCabe, who is a UFA at the end of the year, makes $5.75 million this year and has 5g, 16a in 43 games this season.
…so pretty much the Rangers are linked to any defensman that can shoot.
…a first rounder from a team supposedly rebuilding seems like a lot. But if the Rangers can get him for a third I’m in. As long as the ice time comes away from either Gilroy (who I don’t see back next year) or Eminger (7th defenseman).
