I could see allowing protection of 4 under 25 and 4 over 25. That would work pretty well for the Flames, because Brodie would be in the older group. I'd be content to protect Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett and Hamilton in the younger one. Brodie, Frolik, Gio, Backlund in the older group. It also leaves a sizeable chunk of the roster available to new teams, who could get a Ferland or a Bouma. Better yet, they'd snag some decent players from teams who are stacked in one age or the other.
