These are all very reasonable takes and I could see you being right on all of them.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see Edvinsson start and spend most of the year in GR, especially after what Yzerman added on the left side. I think it'll probably take 2 LD injuries to get him up and my reasoning for that is the same as your reasoning for Veleno in GR. Might as well let him by The Guy™ in GR vs giving him a partner that can't cover his mistakes defensively in the NHL.
I also think Veleno can play the 4th line role in the NHL and I think he's proven to be able to do what Erne does but do it better, so I think he starts in the NHL. Veleno over Erne also gives that line a legitimate chance to score goals. I wouldn't be surprised to see Veleno as the 4C and move Rasmussen to the wing.
It's going to take some serious injury trouble to get Berggren to the NHL at this point. He's probably ready, but we're talking about at least 2 more top 9 injuries/traded players on top of Fabbri before I see him making the team. I'm not sure we see that before the deadline, if at all.
My last nitpick is carrying 3 healthy scratches on D and 0 forwards. Doubt that happens.
