I would go Gonchar or Rafalski, depending on your views of each. I like Gonchar to be more productive, but of course the injury risk is there. Considering the number of young defenseman that seem to be cropping up and producing each year (some earlier than expected e.g. Myers, or even Doughty, who would've thunk he'd be this good this quickly), I think you can afford to cut one of these guys. With only 8 keepers, I would assume (depending on the league depth), that there will be a good number of decent defensemen to draft.

I would cut Rafalski, and then maybe try and trade Bourque for a Defensemen next year since you only have Gonchar left

lots of good young defensemen will be successful next season, and Bourque is a great all around player thats only going to get better.
