I don't know how it would work. Both teams have a compelling argument.

The Oilers will just point to the goal column. Neal has 19. The condition was 21. Simple as that.

But the Flames also have a solid case. This is a very unusual season and Neal very easily could have hit 21 if the season played out as expected. Both sides made the deal expecting an 82-game year. The Oilers only played 71. How is that fair?

At the end of the day, if the regular season is done, I think there might have to be some arbitration here.
