Translation of this evening’s TVA Sports report on the PA Parenteau situation:
It’s no longer a question of if, but when the Toronto Maple Leafs will trade Pierre Parenteau. The team recently told the 32 year old veteran that he will be traded between now and next Monday according to our insider Renaud Lavoie. The Québec forward, who is third (tied with teammate Peter Holland) in the Eastern Conference with four goals in the shootout, is an in-demand player for the deadline next Monday. Like Renaud Lavoie explains, Parenteau could return to a team where he’s already worn the uniform.

PA Parenteau’s Agent has refuted the report:
From PA Parenteau's agent @walsha
"If anyone says PA was told he'll be moved, it's not accurate."

In terms of the potential return, as an easy example, Curtis Glencross netted a second and a third last deadline and had produced nine goals to Parenteau’s 15 at this time last season.
The Leafs getting a return on Parenteau while the Habs still pay him pretty much sums up this season.
