The conclusion was the Chalkis was important as a strategic base, not as a population centre, and hence won't be removed (although it may be replaced by a PSF for all I know). Also, if you remove Chalkis you get the problem of whom to give Euboia to. It clearly wasn't controlled by the Athenians, but giving it to Corinth or Thessaly also isn't realistic.
