"Lottery protected" can mean a lot of things. Heck, just in trades the Flames have been involved in it's meant "Team X can choose not to move the pick if it's between 1 and 10," "Team X keeps pick if it's first overall" and "Team X can choose what year to move a pick, unless it's outside of the lottery."
