Former Head Coach Mike Sullivan Sends Heartfelt Message To Penguins' Fans
On Apr. 28, the Pittsburgh Penguins parted ways with a head coach who had been leading the team for a decade. And although Mike Sullivan was subsequently hired by the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh will always hold a special place for him.

And he sent the Pittsburgh faithful a heartfelt message on Wednesday.
On a billboard in the Pittsburgh area, Sullivan posted a message to Pittsburgh that read, "Thank you, Pittsburgh. Cup Family is forever."
Sullivan was at the helm for Pittsburgh from 2015-2025 and led the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017. He left Pittsburgh as the Penguins' all-time leader in wins. In 835 games with Pittsburgh - including the regular season and the playoffs - Sullivan was 453-293-89 (.543 win percentage). That puts him at 15th all-time for wins with a single franchise.

Will Artemi Panarin sign a contract extension? Burning Rangers questions for 2025-26
From a hockey perspective, the New York Rangers' signing of Artemi Panarin as a free agent in July 2019 has gone about as well as they could have hoped. He's led New York in scoring each of his six seasons and ranks first in franchise history in points per game (1.28). The team has made the Eastern Conference final twice with him as its top offensive producer. He's twice finished in the top five in Hart Trophy voting for the league's most valuable player. Advertisement Now only one year remains on the seven-year deal, worth $11.6 million in average annual value, that brought him to New York. This leaves the Rangers at a massive crossroads. What comes next with Panarin is perhaps the team's biggest question entering the 2025-26 season. 'He's not going to sign if he's not paid as a premier player,' one Western Conference executive said. 'That's what they're going to have to decide.' Of course, there is more to the Panarin decision than just hockey. In April, The Athletic reported that Panarin and Madison Square Garden paid financial settlements to a Rangers employee last year after she alleged that Panarin sexually assaulted her in December 2023. The Rangers did not publicly discipline Panarin, who played in every game in 2023-24 and missed only two games in 2024-25, both because of an upper-body injury. Panarin is coming off a 37-goal, 89-point season, the second-most goals of any season in his career, but it's his lowest rate of point production since coming to New York. 'His top game is fantastic,' said an NHL scout based in the East. 'But the consistency, of course, wasn't there, along with the rest of the team, too. Definitely doesn't all fall on him. I haven't seen much of a regression in terms of his overall talent.' Evolving-Hockey projects Panarin's next contract to come in at three years with a $10.1 million average salary. That lines up with Panarin's projected market value for the coming years, according to colleague Dom Luszczyszyn's model. New York has $29.6 million of projected cap space in the 2026 summer, according to PuckPedia. If Panarin re-signs with the Rangers, his cap hit will eat into that, as will the next contracts for multiple restricted free agents, namely Braden Schneider. There is a loaded class of pending unrestricted free agents in 2026, headlined by Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov. Still, it's also a real possibility that none of those stars reach the open market. If those players start signing extensions, Panarin's camp could potentially gain instant bargaining leverage. Advertisement Though a dominant offensive player in the regular season, Panarin's production has not always translated to the playoffs. In 73 postseason games, he has 21 goals and 61 points — a paltry 24-goal, 69-point pace for a full season, well below his career average of 33 goals and 95 points. Though he delivered a Game 7 overtime winner against Pittsburgh in 2022 and an overtime goal against Carolina in 2024, he has never been better than a point-per-game player in the playoffs for the Rangers. That will have to factor into general manager Chris Drury's thinking, too. The Rangers' top-six forward group is full of players over 30. Mika Zibanejad, Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller are all 32 and under contract for at least four more seasons. The age of those players, as well as Panarin, will play into all of the Rangers' decisions. 'The team wants to be a contender soon,' said the East-based NHL scout. 'It's not like they're wondering, philosophically, 'are we going to rebuild or are we going to pay him?' It's, 'we want to win now.' ' Scouts believe Panarin could continue to produce at a high level, even as he enters his mid-30s. 'Especially if you put him with the right guys, he's a really dangerous player,' the Eastern-based scout said. 'A smaller, more skilled shifty guy like Panarin, I feel like he could play for a good handful more years.' 'I do think his game will age just because of how smart he is and his skill level,' a Western Conference scout added. 'That's a very rare find, and I think that he will be able to adapt even as maybe his legs fall off a little bit.' Panarin identified the Rangers as the team he wanted to play for when he was a free agent in 2019, and he likely passed up money to join. Would he do the same to stay? 'The luxury is guys love playing in New York,' said the Western Conference executive. Advertisement New York would presumably love it if he were to take a deal similar to the one John Tavares signed with Toronto this summer. Coming off a 38-goal season at 34, the same age as Panarin will be next summer, the Maple Leafs center extended on a four-year, $4.389-million-AAV deal. That's a lot to ask, though, from a player of Panarin's stature. He had 49 goals and 120 points in 2023-24, after all. 'He's getting older, so he's probably not going to continue at a crazy level, but you never know,' one Eastern Conference executive said. 'It's a critical year for the whole organization. Looking at that team and what they have and what they're doing and where they're going, I think it's an incredibly important year.' Spot the pattern.

The Penguins could soon be sold to the Hoffmann family. Who are they?
There's a saying employees of the Pittsburgh Penguins have long considered an inside joke, invokable whenever something strange occurs with the nearly 60-year-old, twice-bankrupted, five-time Stanley Cup-winning NHL franchise: We're never boring. That's true even in August, normally a sleepy time on the hockey calendar. Two years ago, the Penguins began the month by trading for Erik Karlsson. A year before that, then coach Mike Sullivan signed a contract extension that he had negotiated directly with ownership. And 15 years back, captain Sidney Crosby caused a local stir when he renewed his Pennsylvania driver's license and got asked by employees to skip the line to avoid, well, making a scene. Advertisement Now this August brings reports that Fenway Sports Group could sell the Penguins to the Hoffmann Family of Companies, an investment firm based in Naples, Fla., following less than four years of FSG majority ownership. The group that owned the Penguins before FSG took over in Dec. 2021, co-led by team icon Mario Lemieux and multibillionaire Ron Burkle, has expressed interest in reacquiring majority control from the current ownership, reaching out through former team CEO and president David Morehouse. However, the Lemieux/Burkle group has not made an offer. So, what should Penguins fans know about their franchise's potential third ownership group this decade? Let's answer some early questions. According to its website, the Hoffmann Family of Companies is 'a multi-vertical, family-owned company and a multi-generational family business' that has acquired more than 200 brands and employs over 17,000 people in 30 countries. Founded and chaired by its namesake, 73-year-old David Hoffmann, the Hoffmann Family of Companies owns businesses in agriculture (Ferguson Valley Nurseries); aviation and transportation (Global Jetcare, Dolphin Transportation Specialists); financial and professional services (Osprey Capital, Retail Dynamics Incorporated); hospitality and entertainment (Mitch's Cookies, The Java Butler, Old Corkscrew Golf Club); media (Missourian Media Group, Napa Valley Register); and real estate (Basecamp Executive Suites), among other categories. The family investment firm is no stranger to sports, either. David Hoffmann attended Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State) on a football scholarship, but an injury ended his playing career and he quit school when his football coach would not approve him to play baseball. His eponymous company's inventory now includes multiple golf country clubs and water sports parks, plus the Florida Everblades — a minor-league affiliate of the St. Louis Blues. Advertisement The Hoffmann Family of Companies purchased the ECHL's Everblades and Hertz Arena, located in Estero, Fla., from former Carolina Hurricanes majority owner Peter Karmanos Jr. in August 2019. The ECHL is a third-tier North American hockey league, below the AHL and NHL. The Everblades have transformed into a minor-hockey power under Hoffmann's ownership, winning nearly two-thirds of their regular-season games (212-96-28) and capturing three straight Kelly Cup championships from 2021-22 to 2023-24. The Everblades most recently advanced to the conference finals before losing to the eventual champion Trois-Rivières Lions. Average home attendance at Hertz Arena has topped 6,000 each of the last three seasons, including a franchise-record 6,598 in 2024-25. Capacity for hockey there is 7,181. At the time of his purchase of the Everblades, David Hoffmann told The Naples Daily News that his family company had already been 'looking into' buying a professional sports team for 'three or four years' and had even 'got close' with both an NBA team and an NHL team. The Penguins have 15 years remaining on an arena lease and a practice facility that is used year-round by local and traveling youth teams. The Pittsburgh market sold out home games from 2007-2019, and the Penguins possess one of the great rosters of hockey legends — including Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, and current stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Though attendance has waned the past two seasons, FSG's adjustment to ticket prices earlier this decade increased gate revenue, and the Penguins' local television ratings remain among the highest for any U.S.-based NHL team. FSG also owns 90 percent of SportsNet Pittsburgh, a regional sports network that broadcasts Penguins games and is managed by NESN, an FSG property. Advertisement The NHL is open to expanding after successfully integrating the Vegas Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken within the past decade. Expansion fees could approach $2 billion per franchise, not including the cost of new arena construction and practice facilities, along with establishing a new market. Hoffmann's net worth was estimated by Forbes to be $2 billion. He has made that outlet's 'World Billionaires List' for the last four years. The Penguins were purchased by FSG for $950 million in December 2021. FSG has since spent $30 million on arena upgrades, allowing team president and general manager Kyle Dubas to build one of the NHL's largest hockey operations staffs, and remodeling the department offices at UMPC Lemieux Sports Complex, the team's practice facility. FSG began seeking minority investors for the Penguins late last summer. The bidding for a minority share was to start at $200 million, and CAA was hired to oversee the process. Lemieux, who has rarely attended Penguins home games since his group's sale to FSG, has a standing offer from current ownership to be more involved with the franchise. He no longer lives in Pittsburgh full-time, though his charity, the Mario Lemieux Foundation, continues to raise millions for cancer research and neonatal care hospitals in the region. The Athletic reported on interest by the Lemieux/Burkle group in July. Hoffmann began his journey to becoming a reported multibillionaire by creating the executive search firm DHR Global in 1989. He later sold the company, only to purchase it back from corporate owners he thought were mismanaging it, according to the Florida Business Observer. The same outlet reported that Hoffmann and his wife, Jerri, moved to southwest Florida in 2015 and amassed nearly three dozen businesses across the region over the next six-plus years. Advertisement Hoffmann stepped down from running the Hoffmann Family of Companies in 2022 and named sons Geoff and Greg as co-CEOs. The company website states Geoff Hoffmann takes the lead on new investments and Greg Hoffmann presides over the real-estate arm. The son of a Missouri milk-truck driver and World War II veteran, David Hoffmann often cites a humble upbringing. He has said that he woke with his father at 3:30 a.m. to deliver milk and that his family's home did not have hot water until he was in high school. 'I remember when I was in elementary school, I wanted to take violin lessons, but they cost $8 and my parents just didn't have $8 to spare,' Hoffmann said when he was given the Horatio Alger Award in 2023. 'There was another time when we had to go out and collect firewood to keep our furnace going so that our pipes wouldn't freeze. We were on the poor end of our blue-collar community, but we were a happy family.' Hoffmann has said he values hard work and empathy in business, describing the most important assets at his first company as 'the people going up and down the escalators every day.' Along with his wife, Hoffmann has described taking a 'nothing-to-lose' approach to investing in businesses. The Florida Business Observer reported that Hoffmann seeks companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $2 million to $12 million. His targets are established businesses, not startups. 'We take something that's really good and try and make it a little bit better,' Hoffmann told the Florida Business Observer. The Penguins' five Stanley Cup wins are tied for second-most of the NHL's post-expansion era. But they have not won a postseason series since 2018 and have failed to reach the playoffs for three straight years. Advertisement David Hoffmann's biography on the company's website says he is also affiliated with Type 1 Timer Hockey, a nonprofit for hockey players who are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. T1T Hockey was founded by Hoffmann's son Geoff and daughter-in-law Megan, who reside in the Chicago area with their four sons, the eldest of whom has Type 1 diabetes. In late July, Hertz Arena hosted the latest T1T hockey camp for boys and girls. Programming included not only on-ice instruction but also sessions with off-ice experts such as sports psychologists, endocrinologists and nutritionists, according to the Hoffmann Family of Companies website.
