No way is Ferland unprotected. Personally I think you leave Lazar out there if you indeed want to keep Brouwer. If you wouldn't mind losing Brouwer than protect Lazar. If Lazar is left unprotected I don't think its a given he's selected and even if he is I don't see it as huge loss. Ultimately losing a 2nd round pick in a weak draft in expansion is pretty minimal.
