Default Young dman glut - who to cut?

I\'m trying to figure out what to do with my young dmen. It\'s a full keeper league with a farm team, so I can hold a total of 35 players. We play 4 defenseman spots each week + bench. I currently have the following dmen:

Ed Jovanovski
Christian Ehrhoff
Niklas Kronwall
Sami Salo (IR)
Mike Green
Brent Seabrook
Cam Barker
Kris Letang
Kris Russell

I\'m trying to figure out how I can make room for Atlanta\'s Tobias Enstrom, who seems to have the PP QB spot locked up after Chicago claimed Pilar on waivers. In addition to Pilar, Chicago also signed Brent Sopel, so all of a sudden I\'m sitting on both Barker and Seabrook who don\'t look like they will be doing much for me this season. Besides, isn\'t it better to spread out your team representation? So let\'s say that I drop one of Seabrook or Barker, who of them should I drop? I just can\'t figure that one out.

I have Jovocop on the market for a winger as I\'m rebuilding. Ehrhoff is also someone I could trade, but I don\'t want to outright release any of those two, since they could have more trade value for me. Or am I wrong about this?

A second and minor conundrum is that I\'ll have to release someone when Salo gets back from IR, but I\'ll probably just dump him, since I couldn\'t find any takers for him before he got injured.

Zhitnik won\'t be around forever. As I said, I\'m in rebuilding mode and Enstrom is expected to be a PP QB for them this year. Zhitnik will be on the first unit, but Enstrom could take the other point on the first unit or run the second unit. Anyhow he\'s expected to be a big part of Atlanta\'s future offense.

Kronwall is behind a lot of players. Barker is being set down, i would cut one of them.

The thing about Kronwall is that he would probably get picked up by one of the guys with a hard on for Detroit players, so he might come knocking on my door for a trade, so I\'d rather hang on to him. So it really comes down to the two Chicago guys. This season is pretty much a wash, since I\'m not even close to competing. That\'s why it doesn\'t really matter if Barker is sent down for much of this season. I\'m looking more at who of Barker and Seabrook has the largest fantasy upside in two or three years and beyond. With Seabrook I probably get a better +/- and more PIMs, plus he seems to be rather healthy compared to Barker. On the other hand Barker could explode on the powerplay with Toews, Kane and the others in a few years. I really like Seabrook but I\'m not sure if I\'m ready to give up on the potential of Barker. On the other hand there are a lot of 30p producing dmen to pick up as FA, so should I stick with Barker and hope he strikes it big in the future?
