So I'm in a one-year league that limits your FA pick ups... Our comish set the maximum allowed moves at 25 for the season and 4 per week. In past, non-lockout seasons, you had to budget those FA pickups carefully and guys usually didn't stream players in and out of the line-up much until the playoffs.
But this year is different... The max limit wasn't adjusted down, even with the lockout shortening the season. Sure, the weekly limits are still 4, but those 25 moves in fewer weeks than normal, makes it much easier to stream those players in and out of the line-up.
It has me wondering, is it even worth holding a 3rd goalie (Vokoun), when I could stream forwards in and out of his roster spot. What do you think? Is Vokoun even worth having, figuring he'll probably get a start a week for PIT, or should I try to deal him, and free up the spot for some more firepower?

Considering you have Rask and Miller I don't think Vokoun adds a ton of value and would prefer to have another skater. Try to see if you can get anything via trade otherwise just drop him.
25 moves isn't a ton. You should keep 12 to maximize streaming during the playoffs leaving 13 moves for 11 week season or just over 1 per week.

^ This is good advice (assuming H2H league.)
I know you have a lot of transactions... but I'd definitely save some for the playoffs. You will love having moves to make when the last day of a H2H match-up rolls around.
For example, I've had matches in the past where maybe I'm losing 5-4-1 going into that final day and I'm just losing PIM. I'll drop 3-4 players and roster a bunch of goons just for a shot.
Sometimes it works. Especially in one-year leagues, you can make some pretty drastic moves for that critical last Sunday.
Thanks for confirming my hunches amigos!
