fantasy hockey helper: deal the hot meal!

Whether you're playing in a fantasy league for big bucks, or bragging rights against friends; I'm sure there is that one weak link who's hockey knowledge is very limited. This guy is your target for a trade you won't regret.
Mathieu Garon, a prime example of a low status player riding one hell of a hot streak that most likely will drop cold as quick as it heated up.
Just look at Brent Johnson; distinct backup to start the season with Pittsburgh, propels team to key victories all while Fleury fails to perform and has the Pens dropping games. With all star stats to start the season for Brent, many analysis's argued a reverse in the starting position in the steel city.
Had you have picked Johnson up during that time and put him up on the trading block, you had high hopes of reeling in a proven player.
Glance over at the status of Johnson now and although you'll see great numbers up still, Fleury has also gotten back into his groove leaving no question in Head Coach Dan Bylsma's head but to stick with his man Marc-Andre as the starter, setting Johnson back too the bench for the majority of the Pen's games.
Garon, now in a similar situation as backup goalie behind Steve Mason of Columbus likely won't pull ahead of Steve who is now getting back into his groove as well.
But too that weak link in need of a goalie, .950 save%, 1.33 gaa, and 6 wins in 7 starts (3 in which are shutouts) can certainly win you over a solid steal offensively.
That is of course if you decide not too keep this guy on reserve for yourself. Wow, those sure are legit numbers from a backup!
