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?

That is why you pro-rate...a criteria that wasn't close to fulfilled has no argument.
They would be willing to pro-rate the standings if they could sqeeze in playoffs. Do your really think the Yotes are just gonna lose all they gave up for Hall and he becomes a UFA as soon as the NHL deems the season over? I don't.
