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
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.

Bylsma: Letang lower bosy, 7-10 days; Malkin still day to day; Fleury still being evaluated and now new info but not ruled out as backup Thu
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
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.
Not on a conditioning assignment. He's still on the NHL roster.

Why wouldn't they be allowed? They aren't really getting away with anything. He's still on the NHL roster and he's still getting an NHL paycheck. And Bortuzzo has to agree to the assignment, so obviously he's cool with it.
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.
