Limited sample size against low level competition, averaging around 15 minutes a game. If Walman/Oesterle pair was that good, Fester could just increase their ice time.
Regardless, Seider is the one that needs to be moved down, not Chiarot. Chiarot-Oesterle is not a first pair.
Edit: Maybe the easiest solution here is to just reduce ice time for Seider and Chiarot, and see how the other pairings do against tougher competition.
There's some really really tiny smaple sizes of different D-pairs at Natural stat trick. They'll play those extra shifts at games after special teams etc.
Regular pairs:
Chiarot - Seider, bad
Määttä-Hronek, good
Walman-Oesterle, good
Hägg-Lindström, bad
I just bring in here, which different pairs have good or bad statistics together:
Good:
Oesterle-Lindström, 65.5 xGF%
Chiarot-Hronek, 85.3 xGF% absolutely great, has only scored goals, and zero against.
Oesterle-Seider, 62.7 xGF%
Määttä-Seider, 61.2 xGF%
Määttä-Walman, 60.9 xGF%
Oesterle-Hronek, 68.4 xGF%, very good numbers
Määttä-Oesterle, 79.6%
Chiarot-Oesterle, 84.3%
Bad
Chiarot-Määttä, 26.9 xGF, no goals scored, only taken against.
Hägg-Oesterle, 26.3 xGF very bad
Walman-Seider 25.9 xGF%
Hägg-Seider 3.6 xGF% (worst)
So there's lots of good looking options, just avoid these four last ones. Hronek-Seider also has bad numbers, but I think 2 righties at same pair are not anyways a regular option on long run.
Because both Chiarot-Hronek and Määttä-Seider had promising positive numbers, I'd go with that solution. Keep that 3rd pair as it is, Walman Oesterle.
Chiarot - Hronek
Määttä - Seider
Walman - Oesterle
