I see something more like:

Giordano-Andersson
Hanifin-Hamonic
Valimaki-Yelesin
Fantenberg

Stone gets moved. Better to sit Fantenberg in the press box than Kylington, who will be the first call-up from the Heat.
With Stone a righty and Fantenberg a lefty I'm not sure we can claim that.

I was surprised that they didn't try Brodie on the left with Stone on the right as a third pairing down the stretch though.

Bottom line from past endeavours, I'm not pencilling Yelesin into anything until after training camp. Such an unknown.

They may have changed their mind on Fantenberg, but one of the reasons they acquired him was the expiring contract and not blocking the way for Valimaki and I would guess Kylington next year.
