I don't get why people think Ferland won't be protected, he's shown to be more valuable than Brouwer or Lazar. So the last spot is between those two.

The thing that most people aren't considering is that every team is going to lose a player to the draft. If it's Lazar, it's really not that big of a deal. I'm willing to bet that most GM's would gladly give the Knights their 2017 2nd Round pick to leave their team alone, which is basically what the Flames would be doing if they lost Lazar to them.
