I take my cue on fantasy trading from guys who trade a different entity every day, with their careers dependent on the results: Traders.  While the consequences of a poor decision may be slightly less for fantasy owners, than in the financial markets, the rules still apply.  I'll start with number one this week: Buy Low & Sell High.  It's pretty self explanatory, but if you can't quite grasp the concept, look here.  Looking across the NHL landscape, I've zeroed in on these three players you need to move right now, before their value gets, how can I say, "low."

Cristobal Huet | G
Washington Capitals

Although Alex Linsky wasn't a fan of the move, maybe there's a reason the Canadiens only got back* a 2009 2nd Round Pick for Huet.  The way he's been playing recently, they could've been afraid soon they'd get much less back in return for him.

Since January 31st, in ten games, Huet's GAA has been a very average 2.9, and his save percentage's been an embarrassing-for-a-starter 83%.  To make it worse, those numbers include the shutout he had in his first start as a Capital last Sunday.

Even with the shutout, I don't see Huet turning it around on a consistent basis going forward.  Especially considering the Capitals are 23rd in the league in goals allowed per game.  All in all, if Huet's on your roster, take a page from Canadiens GM Bob Gainey and trade Huet before his value is totally gone. 

Henrik Lundqvist | G
New York Rangers

Like another goalie on this list; Henrik hasn't been playing so hot since late January.  In 13 starts, his GAA has been a mediocre 2.5, to go with his unimpressive .883 save percentage.

Over the period, he's allowed at least 3 goals in eight of the thirteen games.  At the moment, the Rangers are in the 7th spot in the Eastern playoff race, but if they want to say there, Henrik's going to have to start playing like he did in the beginning of the year.  Over three weeks in the early winter, he had four shutouts in eight games.

From a fantasy perspective, though, I wouldn't count on it.  He seems to have gotten a little too satisfied now that he's signed his big contract.  You know what that means, right?  See the title of the article if you're still confused.

Thomas Vanek | LW
Buffalo Sabres

Vanek's been playing quite well for the Sabres this season.  Despite being the only legitimate offensive weapon for the team, he's managed to put up 52 points already.  He's still a young man, but he's been guiding the way for the Sabres to maybe sneak into the Eastern conference playoffs.

Reading all this, you're probably wondering why I've included him in this column?

You see, of his 27 goals this year over half have come on the powerplay.  With the trade of star defenseman Brian Campbell to the Sharks last week, the Sabres powerplay is going to take a big hit.  The biggest loser is likely to be their top producer Vanek.  With Campbell gone as well, opposing teams will have even less to distract them from focusing their entire defensive efforts around the young man.

This isn't to say the kid can't play.  Just that his value will only go down going forward, so if you're sharp, you'll move him now.
