Marin Honda got the Skate Canada spot.
That’s what I was expecting. Hopefully she can put it together this year.

I wonder how many times Litvintsev will be skipped
Yee wasn't even in the top 10 on the replacement list. Guess Canada wanted a no-threat replacement for the home team for seed Kolyada.
He was however top ten in the list of replacement skaters who are eligible for the SC spot (removing Brendan Kerry, Paul Fentz, and Conrad Orzel), and we have often debated whether or not skaters get moved up in that case. Seems that they do.
Ting Cui out of GP France and NHK due to injury. There should be enough time even for France to replace her.
... Litvintsev is not fave of me, but it seems he won't get any 2nd GP, even if he's #1 on the alternates list. But he's quite unknown and from a small federation. ...

I was looking forward to seeing her compete. She is so lovely. Hopefully. Young You gets a spot? Although, seeing as she could actually be a podium threat...perhaps Yelim or Starr?
There’s another potential vacancy at SCI to watch out for, as Aurora Cotop withdrew from Nebelhorn already due to groin issues. There’s been no news about her status since, so she may or may not be ready. I imagine Skate Canada would replace her with a Canadian, though (I guess it would have to be Hannah Dawson).
Right, I momentarily forgot she wasn’t already there. That would be another option.Or Veronik?
There are quite a few Korean skaters higher on the list than several Europeans, but France may opt to replace Ting with those training in Europe. NHK could replace her with a Korean skater.
