Thursday Habs Links: P.-A. Parenteau is Skating Again

Montreal Canadiens Links

• P.-A. Parenteau participated in on-ice activities with the Habs and it looks like he will be returning to the lineup in the near future. [Sportsnet]
• A four-year-old P.K. Subban never wanted to leave the ice and would often keep his father up past midnight so he could continue skating. Though Subban has gotten older, he has not lost a bit of that drive. [Sports Illustrated]
• Naturally, the penalty that Subban took by slashing Brett Connolly and the ensuing Lightning powerplay goal also generated discussions. [Sportsnet]
• Bob McKenzie believes that Jaromir Jagr would be a good fit with the Canadiens. He also believes that GM Marc Bergevin wouldn't mortgage the future to land the aging star. [Nichols On Hockey]
• Prospect Nikolas Koberstein has been traded to the Bloomington Thunder from the Sioux Falls Stampede. This trade also makes Koberstein the first NHL draft pick to play for the Thunder. [Bloomington Thunder]
• Prospect Martin Reway isn't Moncton bound. The young Slovak took to Twitter to dispel that theory. [Twitter]
