My reasoning on forwards is two things:
1) Flames are not going to expose Pelletier to waivers, and Pelletier is decently defensively.
2) Conroy places importance on centres and winning draws. Schwindt makes the team over Klapka because of this (with a slight importance to waivers as well).
Honzek and Klapka are the first 2 call-ups this year dependent on what spot opens up. I think they both did more than enough to make team.
On defence, Hanley goes back down to the Wranglers. I don't think that he outplayed Pachal last year, and he certainly hasn't outplayed Pachal so far in camp and preseason. I think with Solovyov being demoted, it makes the defence fairly clear for me.
