Defenseman Brooks Orpik has received, and rejected, a contract offer from the Penguins.
"We did receive an offer, which we turned down," said Orpik's agent, Lewis Gross. "But we're still talking."
He declined to say whether he was optimistic about whether a deal could be reached before Tuesday, when Orpik qualifies for unrestricted free agency.
More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
