Add Toronto businessman Frank D'Angelo and a billionaire partner, Dr. Barry Sherman, to the list of prospective buyers for the Penguins.

D'Angelo told Canadian Press yesterday that he and Sherman are considering making an offer for the franchise and hope to meet with Penguins CEO Ken Sawyer this week.

He also was adamant that he would keep the team in Pittsburgh, regardless of whether Isle of Capri, which has pledged $290 million to an arena if it gets the license to operate a slots parlor here, gets that license.

"We have absolutely no intention of moving the team," D'Angelo told CP.

D'Angelo said he and Sherman could finance an arena, if necessary, because one of his products, Steelback beer, would benefit from the rink's naming rights and being able to supply beverages for the facility.

D'Angelo and Sherman recently failed in an attempt to get a Canadian Football League franchise in Ottawa.
