No HITS?! Flip Burrows for JVR and you are set.
12 team dynasty league expanding to 14 teams, so we keep 7 this year then it's a straight dynasty from then on.
G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, SO
Right now, my 7 keepers stack as:
Getzlaf
Benn
Ennis
Burrows
Pavelski
Yandle
C. Anderson
I'm also considering these guys:
Stepan
Clarkson
van Riemsdyk
del Zotto
Pavelec
I'm leaning just a hair towards keeping JVR over Pavelski, especially in case Benn and/or Ennis lose their LW eligibility (Yahoo). Keep in mind that with the expansion draft, I likely won't be able to redraft any of these guys.
Thoughts?
16 team league, keep 12 plus *4 1st/2nd year players (16 total)
Points Only (w/ NHL salaries), start 8F/4D/1G
Note: Defencemen receive 1 point per 45 mins of ice time (1-2 points per week, ~30-35 pts per season).
Forwards:
L. Couture, F. Forsberg, T. Teravainen, O. Palat, C. Kreider, K. Hayes, *J. Guentzel, R. Rakell, *K. Labanc, B. Point, *C. Fischer
Defense:
*S. Theodore, S. Gostisbehere, *M. Matheson, J. Trouba
Goalie:
M. Murray

No hits, but I think he forgot to mention that blocked shots is being added as the 7th forward category. Playing on the safe side, don't count on all of these guys retaining their dual position eligibility. You don't need to keep 4 centers, when we can only start 2 - I'd spread out your talent across the board:
These would be my choices, with the player's primary position listed first in the parenthesis:
Getzlaf (C)
Benn (C/LW)
van Riemsdyk (LW)
Pavelski (C/RW)
Burrows (RW/LW)
Yandle
C. Anderson
I'd also seriously consider keeping Pavelec - I think goalies are going to be hard to come by with 14 teams. If you aren't worried about that, keep Burrows. If you are, switch the two out.
Hope it helps

I agree with Indian here. Ennis is the guy you take out of that group for JVR. Pavelski has routinely been on the top line in SJ and he is a mainstay on the PP unit. SJ is going to build around him and Couture long term.

When leagues grow in size, goalies become more valuable.
If you can keep two, I'd keep both.
My 7 (with current Yahoo! Rank - I'll explain after):
Getzlaf (10)
Benn (140 - short season)
Pavelski (98)
Clarkson (32) (not Ennis, #87)
Burrows (52)
C.Anderson
Pavelec (not Yandle)
If you are in a Yahoo! league, Yahoo! keeps a "Rank" based on these EXACT ten categories. And Yahoo!'s RANK is accurate... I've confirmed it with my own mathematical deductions and ended up damn close to Yahoo!s rank.
I would drop Ennis and keep either Clarkson or Stephan. Or go to the wire and get a goalie like Markstrom because in a 14 team league G will be at a premium.
I would be seriously considering keeping Stepan. He has improved point totals each year he has been in the league, plays in all situations, and is 22 years old to boot. This guy is definately going to be #1 centre in NY for years. Id even say as soon as next year as Richards seems to be declining.
