Many of the stores on the provisional/under review list have basically hinted to their employees they are closing and are not encouraging employees to stay. Many are leaving as soon as a new job is lined up. Eddie is considering a bid for 500 stores, so there will be reprieves on the under review list that will end up as "safe" stores, assuming Eddie can fund their ongoing operations and exit bankruptcy.
I just don't see Sears surviving long term without at least one store location in every major city in the country. Because they are not a regional chain, logistics costs will be a killer.
