Nelson would be my choice... in a 10 team, why are you rostering Stecher at all?
I need to make a decision on players since Johansson is no longer on IR. With him coming back onto my roster, I am 1.872 million over our salary cap. My team is in the sig file. My thoughts are:
Drop Stecher and Heed, but I would still have to drop 0.297 million more. So the question is who do eliminate. Silfverberg and Nelson are both under performing. Or do I drop Johansson instead? I know many will say Ekblad, but I am not letting him go just yet. Yes he has not that many points for his cap hit, but he is young, and he might get better. No one will trade for him but I know that if I drop him, someone will pick him up so I don't want to just let him go for nothing.

I would also Drop Nelson... Silfverberg will start producing better when Kesler and Getzlaf are back.
Here are my top-10 drop options for you:
1) Ekblad
2) Ekblad
3) Ekblad
4) Ekblad
5) Ekblad
6) Ekblad
7) Ekblad
8) Ekblad
9) Ekblad
10) Nelson
Nelson isn't actually under-performing, he's just a 40 point player. But Ekblad would need to become a 60 point player to deserve his cap hit, and he's never going to get there. Is it really worth holding onto him just in case he happens to get 40 points one year? I doubt there's a huge market for him even then with $7.5M cap hit. You can probably get similar point totals from Heed who is almost $7M cheaper, so why would you want to drop him?
By the way, your signature probably isn't up to date since you don't have Heed there.
Apologies, I made the edit and hit save, but didn't work for some reason. I did it again, now it works...
