To me Good young players means;
- Ferland
- Granlund
- Bouma
- Colborne
These are the players that would likely be unprotected. I would throw Klimchuk and Poirier in that list too if it gets pushed back an additional year or 2.
At that point I could see the Flames leaving Gio unprotected as he would be older and playing a lesser role, likely solidifying the second pairing with whichever defence prospect developed the fastest.
