However, if there isn't a full season, that is a completely different thing. I am not saying that it will be pro-rated (we'll have to wait and see), but the challenge is that the contract term is not complete. Very different than a condition not being met.

Another option is to give both teams the 3rd round pick. Teams that traded picks for pending UFAs players near the trade deadline also get to keep their picks, but the teams that received the picks also keep them. It would be mean a lot more draft picks at the draft but maybe the most fair. It would be straight forward and would require a lot of negotation so probably wouldn't happen.
