Incidentally, he also thinks that Crosby will be back the 1st game after January 1st.

Pierre McGuire, for all of his detractors, really knows the goings-on with the Pens given his prior relationship with the team. Plus he's got a super ego. If he says on TSN990 that he thinks Crosby will be back shortly after January 1st, I for one believe him, no way he sticks his neck out like that unless there's a good chance it will happen and he has some CONCRETE reasons for believing that it will happen.
He said the same kind of thing the day they announced that Pronger would be out for the season, anticipating that as well (although by that point I imagine there was quite a bit of buzz going around).

While this is some positive news on Letang, I find it very hard to believe he will return before Jan. 1 given that at last report he hadn't even resumed skating yet.

Just my luck. As soon as I decided to trade Letang we get these updates on possible return dates. For what it's worth, I just watched Darren Dreger on the NHL.com who spoke about both Crosby/ Letang and he reported that Crosby is much more closer to be back on the ice than Letang. Crosby is doing off ice workouts and should be back early in the new year. Meanwhile Letang is still suffering from post concussion symptoms and hasn't been able to do virtually anything.
