"I did see a report in the last half hour from Mark Madden from 105.9 the X in Pittsburgh, a pretty well-connected guy in the Pittsburgh scene, who is reporting that Kyle Dubas is closing in on a contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. That kind of goes against just about every single thing that I've heard. I seem to have some indication and not obviously to a point where I feel comfortable in reporting it but there's been lots of smoke in the last 24 hours that Kyle Dubas has in fact turned down the Pittsburgh Penguins... it just seems that there's an indication that the Penguins and Fenway Sports Group have re-engaged with some other people that they were previously interviewing which would lend to speculation that Kyle Dubas has turned them down. But again nothing that I'm comfortable sharing in an official way." - Frank Seravalli
