So lets see everyone's list. I'll start.
Obviously we have big bad Milan Lucic as our #1 protected forward due to his no movement clause and the fact that we have to protect him due to that clause. If he's not on your list then your list is wrong. It's already been confirmed that the Flames will be honoring his NMC. Speculating that he will waive to go to Seattle is just that, speculation. So I'll include him on my list.
I'll go the 7 forwards 3 defenceman and 1 goalie route.
Forwards:
Lucic (NMC)
Tkachuk
Monahan
Gaudreau
Lindholm
Bennett
Backlund (NTC)
Defence:
Gio (NTC)
Hanafin
Valimaki
Goalie:
Rittich (probably)
I might switch Andersson for Hanafin but we'll see how the next couple years go.
the 4 and 4 and 1 goalie looks even worse to be honest
Lucic
Backlund
Gaudreau
Tkachuk
Gio
Valimaki
Andersson
Hanafin
Rittich
yuck

I suspect both Gio and Backlund will not be protected, I also believe Lucic will waive for the good of the team knowing he wouldn't be selected anyway.
