Pens Trade Sabu and Ryan Stone for Garon
Obviously the only part of this trade that matters is the Sabu/Garon factor. Who's better? Well...let's look at the numbers.
What we lost...Sabu: 19 GP, 6 W, 8L, 2 OTL, 47 GA, 2.85 GAA, and .898% Not very impressive...but then again, neither has been the team playing in front of him.
What we gained: Garon: 15 GP, 6W, 8L, 0 OTL, 43 GA, 3.17 GAA, .895%. Basically it's a wash when you look at the numbers...but Garon is the better goaltender...hence why we had to give up "so much".
Sabu has had a total of only 57 NHL starts in his career. Garon...has had 200 exactly...boasting a 92-82-3-10 record. So the Pens got some more veteran leadership on their team now, and it's between the pipes...a little insurance whenever Fleury suck donkey balls.
Considering how flakey goaltending has been for the Pens this season, I like the trade. What do yinz readers think...I mean...Garon can't really be any worse can he?

Other than a shake up or a new guy to push Fleury, I'm not sure I quite get the deal.
It's not like Sabu has been playing all these games during the slump.
Kind of seems like a get what you give trade. Same guy, different conference.
