So effectively the team is down to 32 = 17F, 12 D, 3G considering Hogstrom is down/starts on season opening IR

That is still a ton of defensemen left in camp.

With the 4 PTOs left, they have not played in the last 2 games - could be guys added to lineup in next game to rest some guys before the preseason finale? Auditioning for AHL deal/sign to a 2 way and waive to demote right away for AHL depth? If the top 4 is set, then the PTO guys on D could fill out a 3rd pair, to allow the coaches to both rest guys who are locked in and give fringe guys more ice to evaluate
Discounting the PTOs gets the team to 28 = 16F (2 go down), 9D (2 go down) 3G (1 goes down) - so we are getting close to the team to open the season!
