Everyone knew the 2012-2013 season would have 48 games once it was set. Never did they schedule 82 games and then cancel the remainder of the season. Similarly, everyone knew there was a possibility of 0 games in the 2004-2005 season and they never released a schedule only to cancel the games. All three of those seasons were CBA issues that were known years in advance.
These games were cancelled. That's a difference that destroys the comparison.
Anyways, shared custody of the pick makes the most logical sense. Flames get Sunday through Tuesday, Oilers get him Wednesday through Friday, with alternating Saturdays.
