Update from the injury thread:
Bad news. RDS is reporting Letang actually has a broken toe.

Kris Letang is not lucky. A broken toe is the new injury. Lower body still hurting. #penguins #RDS

Let's Go Pens
Well this time around he is going to heal 100% before coming back. Can't afford going into the playoffs without him being 100%

How long does a broken toe take to heal?
At the earliest, I would think we wouldn't see him until the playoffs. That is, of course, a total guess considering I have no idea how long a broken toe takes to heal. I would think if it's the big toe it would take longer.

Pens are very fortunate that their replacements for Letang and MAF are just slightly less skilled. I don't think the Pen's lose very much at all with these guys out.
This still doesn't excuse Bylsma for ever scratching Depres. Getting Malkin back will be a huge plus (considering the Pens actually have him replace their worst forward).

I've broken toes. Takes a week or two. Broken toes aren't a big deal, I usually just favored the other foot a bit while they healed.

Posted this in the other thread, but here's the update:
7-10 days is pretty minor compared to what could have been.

I'm glad I didn't jump off the bridge on this one. THAT would have been embarrassing

Fortunately it's just his lower bosy. Could have been ugly.

I've broken several toes between hockey, football, and a concrete patio in the backyard. They're not fun, but you just tape 'em up and play once you can put the weight on that foot again. Shouldn't been much more than a week or two.
Makes sense seeing how he hasn't played in a month + and isn't at game level. How long can he stay down on "conditioning" assignment?

How are the Pens allowed to do that? I thought conditioning assignments are only permitted following an injury to that player. Bortuzzo's not hurt, he's just been a healthy scratch (as far as I know).
So our depth on the defense will be well served then. Last few years teams have died in their run because of injuries to defense. We have more NHL bodies back their with experience or young skill to weather these this out. It sucks that legtang is out but at least we know we can keep rolling fine without him. We need Malkin back though. this team can't keep this up without that second line rolling as well.

Shero: Hey Borts, have a seat. Hey look, so we may need you to agree to a conditioning assignment... you don't mind, do you?
Borts: Well, I mean, I kinda wanted to stay up here... I mean...
<phone rings>
Shero: Oh, excuse me a sec, sorry, this won't take long. Hello? Bob! Great to hear from ya, buddy! What's that? Oh, you're thrilled with Morrow? That's great news, I'm glad you're happy with the kid! What's that? Oh, you may want to make a similar deal? Another young roster-ready d-man? Welll... hrmmm... I have someone in mind... give me a bit, I'll get back to you.
<hangs up>
I'm sorry, you were saying?
Borts: ... I look forward to the conditioning assignment.
