Honestly, it would be pretty ridiculous to basically change in the condition in a matter that is favorable to the Flames.
Neal could have easily become sick/injured and missed the rest of the season. The only difference between that and Corona is foreseeability, which I don't believe matters.

No, if a player is sick and doesn't finish the season, the season still played out. The contract said 21 goals during the season. If he is injured and never played, he didn't get 21 goals during the season. Contract term expires, end of story.
However, if there isn't a full season, that is a completely different thing. I am not saying that it will be pro-rated (we'll have to wait and see), but the challenge is that the contract term is not complete. Very different than a condition not being met.
