It appears the Pittsburgh Penguins have removed the "For Sale" sign outside Consol Energy Center.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman spoke to the media at a press conference before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday and talked about a potential sale of the Penguins.

"My understanding is there's no urgency, nothing pressing, no process in place for (the) Penguins to sell the club," Bettman said, according to Yahoo Sports' Greg Wyshynski.

Last June, the Penguins had a wealth management firm explore a potential sale, and were reportedly looking for at least $750 million. Penguins owners Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle released a statement in January saying they were exploring all strategic options, including the sale of the club.
