The Penguins this afternoon disputed a report in the New York Post that claimed the sale of the team was called off due to a disagreement between owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle on the price of the team.
The two put the team up for sale last June, and have been seeking a sum widely reported to be as high as $750 million.
The Penguins released a statement a short time ago on the matter that disputes two things: that the sale is off, and that any established price has been set.
“Contrary to a media report regarding the potential sale of the Pittsburgh Penguins, there is no disagreement between us and we remain completely aligned in both approach and philosophy.
