Is this a good move? I would drop Downie.
10 team - Keep 4 - H2H Scoring:
C(3)LW(2)RW(2)D(4)
G,A,PIM,P,+/-,PPP,Wins,GAA,SV%,SO

LW - Pacioretti, Vermette(C), Dubinsky(C)
RW - Voracek,Wheeler, Nyquist(C),
D - D Boyle , Burns, Zidlicky, Gudas
G - Niemi, Khudobin, Stalock
IR- Rinne, Harding
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
I dont think he will be useful until he is moved out of Buffalo. Until then, he will hurt you more often than help. You do need a G though. Rinne is probably done for the season.
If you can afford to sit on him and not play him often until after he is traded it might make sense. Niemi and Harding is a great 1-2 punch. Tough call. Hard to justify burning a #2 waiver for someone you dont know will be playing for you until a point as late as the trade deadline.
Miller is about as worthless as it gets in a 10x4 i would pass personally
in a 10 team leagues there have to be better players to have sit on your bench and never play than Ryan Miller
Good points all around, burning the #2 waiver does sting a bit and at this point he's got no trade value. Sorted by points my options would be Nielson, Little, Hanzel, Doan which aren't really catching my eye either.
I just have to get rid of Downie.. This IR bug is really putting me in a hole.
