(you'll probably say, there was nobody else worth protecting anyway lol)
Assuming the Flames doesn't make major moves involving important players this season, the "must protect" list for me would be:

Markstrom

Andersson - Hanafin - Tanev

Gaudreau - Monahan - Tkachuk
Lindholm - Dube - Mangiapanne

That's it. And there are expansion draft exposure requirements where teams have to expose 1D and 2F who will be still under contract after the 20-21 season. Gio/Lucic/Backlund are prime candidates for this.
