It's top 2 protected.
Capfriendly misunderstood the condition and needs a rewrite.
NHL.com article: "If Chicago's first-round pick in 2022 is one of the top two selections, the Blue Jackets will receive the Blackhawks' first-round pick in 2023."
NBC Chicago: "The Blackhawks made sure to protect the 2022 first-round draft pick by making it lottery protected. If the pick falls inside the Top 2, the selection will belong to Chicago and the first-rounder that goes to Columbus will be in 2023."
Fourth Period: "The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded defenceman Seth Jones, the 32nd overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a 2022 sixth-round draft pick to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenceman Adam Boqvist, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, a 2021 second-round pick and a top-two lottery protected 2022 first-round pick — if the pick falls within the top-two, it will move to 2023."
The Atheltic: "If Chicago's 2022 first rounder is in the top two, it becomes a 2023 first-round pick."
TSN: "The 2022 first-round pick could become a 2023 first rounder instead if the selection is in the top two. "
CapFriendly: "Conditions: If Chicago wins one of the the 2022 draft lotteries, the pick becomes their 2023 1st round pick"
Wikipedia: "Columbus will receive a first-round pick in 2022 if Chicago does not win either of the two draws in the 2022 Draft Lottery. Otherwise the pick will defer to 2023."
Seems to be a lot of mixed reporting, but it sounds to me it very well could be top-2 protected and reporters were just using "lottery protected" as another way to describe. But I am still not 100% on that.
