I agree with your "locks." Also Burns should be a lock. Getting a forward's production from a d spot is so worth it. Definitely try to make a package for a star forward if you can.
Cats:
G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blocks, PIM
Wins, GAA, Saves, SV%
League: 4 C, 4 LW, 4 RW, 6 D, 2 G
Keep 10
and here's the nominees
C - Henrik Sedin
C - Martin Hanzal
C - Tomas Plekanec
C/LW - Tyler Ennis
LW - Max Pacioretty
LW - Daniel Sedin
RW/D - Dustin Byfuglien
RW/D - Brent Burns
D - Alexander Edler
D - Cody Franson
G - Roberto Luongo
G - Cam Ward
G - Cory Schneider
My rambles...
Sedins, Byfuglien, Edler, Pacioretty, Luongo, Ward, Schneider seem like locks.
Franson, Burns, Ennis, Hanzal, Plekanec are the ones I'm having trouble deciding on.
Thinking it's best to package up a goalie with one of the defman to make some upgrades at forward?
Any thoughts would be appreciated

I would keep:
Henrik
Daniel
Max Pac
Byfuglien
Burns
Franson
Edler
Schneider
Ward
Luongo
but, your team is old and lacking in top end forward talent. I would make a trade if something is available.
Locks plus Franson, Burns, Ennis,
Your top 8 are easy choices. I have to agree with above that Burns is the obvious 9th, especially if he keeps D status. I'd take Ennis with the last pick, once buffalo starts moving bodies his ice time+opportunities should only get better. He is talented enough to score on his own.
I count 13 players listed and you can keep 10. So ditch Hanzal, Plekanec and Franson. Done.
C - Henrik Sedin
C/LW - Tyler Ennis
LW - Max Pacioretty
LW - Daniel Sedin
RW/D - Dustin Byfuglien
RW/D - Brent Burns
D - Alexander Edler
G - Roberto Luongo
G - Cam Ward
G - Cory Schneider
I'm torn between Ennis and Franson... Are you sure that Burns will get D eligibility? If so, I would be inclined to keep Ennis. If Burns is officially a forward, I would keep him and flip Ennis for Franson.
Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)

Thanks for the reply gents, dished out as much rep as I could.
Not 100% sure Burns will have dual eligibility, league is through yahoo so I'm hoping he maintains both F/D options for this season.
Hopefully work something out in a trade to improve the forwards.

Just FYI: Burns is listed as a RW on yahoo at this link: http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/san/roster
