If the NHL does pro-rate, it'll be opening a big can of worms since it's all hypothetical. A criteria that wasn't close to be fulfilled, could be argued then because they could have very well actually fulfill it with the remaining games that were on tap. Just like it wasn't a guarantee that those close to the mark, would actually reach it.
I think that since the mark wasn't reached, it shouldn't be awarded. It's impossible to know for certain that it was going to be done. I wonder how the legal wording for these conditions is written. Does it specify it's under the definition of a 82 game season be completed?
