I don't think so. Not if your league is as crazy as you say it is.
Someone just dropped Paul Stastny in the keeper in my sig. I imagine he'll get picked up immediately but I have the #1 waiver position and wonder if he's worth using it on. The league is a mix of veteran and newer fantasy hockey guys so there will be other crazy drops this year, which is why I question Stastny's abilities.
PS - I wouldn't have to drop anyone until Briere comes off IR.
Thanks!

I would't do it.
While I like Statsny... I think you might drop him right back when Briere is active.
I find that those waiver positions can be nice to have - and I never burn one early in the season if the league has keen GMs.
I just don't see Statsny as a considerable improvement over your other rostered players (incl. Briere).

In a 10-team league, Stastny is nothing special.
Keep the #1 position and wait for the inevitable "omfg I can't believe he just did that" drop.
Having said that, keep in mind the shortened season, so don't sit too long on that #1... it's marginal benefit diminishes with each passing day.
If you think better players will be dropped later in the season then I would wait.

Agree with the posts above. In a 10 team league like yours he isnt that great, maybe he slides through waivers and you dont have to use your # 1 on him. Hold tight for now.
These guys have it right, hold off on this move.
Good luck.
