Pruning shoot from winter damaged tree?

Zone 4 (central MN)

I have several apple and a few pear trees that were almost killed off by our harsh winter. Now I have trees that have multiple sprouts both above and below the graft.

I know to trim the sprouts below the graft. For those above should I leave them to grow a while or trim back and leave the "best" one?

Trees are either one or two years old.

thx
