I want the pick, but the Oilers have a legit claim, too. This is one of the more complicated conditions ever written for a trade. I don't think there was anything stopping them from adding more details to pro-rate things.
Neal could have scored 22 goals in 41 games. If Lucic scored 13 in 82 games, we wouldn't get the pick.
Ignoring the laundry for a moment, I think the most fair outcome from a league-wide standpoint would be compensatory picks for both teams at the end of the 4th round, flipping a coin to determine the order.

Why would both teams get a pick at the end of the 4th? (Emphasis on 'both')
