Sam Fingold, Hartford based real estate broker and hockey fan, signed a letter of intent to purchase the Pittsburgh Penguins from Mario Lemieux's group. The deal, estimated around 175 million dollars, follows Lemieux's bankruptcy court acquisition seven years ago. Fingold, a Toronto native, had suggested moving the team to Kansas City but stated the Penguins would stay in Pittsburgh if a new arena is built.
