It's not much, but some new information arrived my way on the possibility that Mario Lemieux would want to buy the Penguins back: I'm told that, whatever conversation occurred between 66 and the Fenway Sports Group -- and there was contact -- nothing came of it, and it's currently considered to be a past-tense proposition.
Also and still, people who'll usually call/text me right back continue to not call/text back at all. Which always has me, in any scenario, presuming that something's happening.
Wish I knew more. I'll keep sharing.
