Seems something the Flames may do, so maybe I'll do that 
In all seriousness, is it worthwhile to buy maybe a line's worth of players? And is it a good idea to sell useless players (ovr ~100-110 with no potental) or just let their contracts expire?

I would say spend on a goalie first and see what you have left. If you have a good goalie it will help so much, my team has never been as good as the teams around me in my leagues but I've managed to get promoted in each of my first 2 seasons because of strong goaltending. I bought 5 guys in my first year, and have 2 of them still. Once your sports academy improves you won't need to use the market as much, but yes, try to get some maybe older players that will go for cheaper that will be of use for you for a year or 2, but don't spend more than 500 000 on them. Like I said, I have a few that can help people short term and if I put them up so they sell at like midnight on a sunday, you could probably pick them up for as little as 40 or 50 thousand because most people are asleep at that time.
