Everyone barking up the “conditions are conditions” tree, yeah, great, even some Oiler commenters on ############ think they should sue the league (which gives me thundering levels of schadenfreude). Fact is, conditions are based on an 82 game season being played, which for reasons outside of any individual player, wasn’t possible. So they’re prorating the things that matter (bonuses, trade agreements). Easy peasy.
I swear people just love to overthink the dumbest things. Flames get a pick and still some people want to “well, actually!” it. The NHL could’ve forced the Oilers to give the Flames their 1st and I would’ve said “yes, thank you, more please.”

Fair points. Given it some thought, maybe you're right about performance bonuses.
Like I said I'm glad we got the pick.
