LeBrun on TSN says unsigned draft picks 1 or 2 years from their draft are exempt. HOWEVER, if the unsigned draft pick is more than 2 years from their draft date, they need to be protected or will be exposed.

Huge implications for NCAA and some Euro prospects.

For example, with the Flames- Hickey could be exposed if he isn't signed after next season.
