Don't see the Stars running the risk of losing Kiviranta to waivers when Studenic has already passed through waivers successfully. We may see Studneic at some point this season, but he won't be on the opening night roster.
With Dellandrea being injured & waiver exempt, he likely starts the year in the AHL, allowing Dallas to roster a healthy 13th forward. I'd expect that Johnston and Damiani will both make the roster, with the former in the lineup and the ladder battling with Kiviranta for the last lineup spot with the other filling the 13th forward role. Once Dellandrea is healthy, you'll likely see Damiani sent to the AHL to make space on the roster for him. This would also push Kiviranta to the 13th forward role (if he isn't already there to start the season).
