per General Fanager the conditions on the 7th rounder:
Looking unlikely at this point the Flames will have to give up a pick.

That's good news.
Did we ever find out the conditions of the Max Reinhart trade to Nashville? Wasn't it a conditional 4th?

It was a conditional 4th, but both teams have been very cryptic about the conditions.
Treliving on the radio said that the criteria had to be met or the Flames wouldn't get anything.

Okay, so we're fairly safe against paying those conditions.

18 games in order to get a 7th? Wow.
Seems to me that if a young player gets 18 games in at the NHL level, he's worth more than a 7th rounder.
Pretty safe deal for the Flames: he's free unless he somehow takes a huge step forward and becomes a very useful player - then he's almost free.

Is it possible to be traded for LESS than a conditional 7th?

Yes.
Once upon a time a baseball player was traded for 2000 red seats.
A hockey player was once traded for a team Bus. Another was traded for a steak dinner.
One baseball player was traded for, literally and I cant make this up, a bag of bats.
This sadly resulted in his suicide. 
You take your conditional 7th when you can get it.

Are those NHL/MBA trades
or was that a Flint Tropics type situation?

Ray Sheppard was traded for $1 if memory serves. Ouch.

Strange. I just figured since it's a conditional 4th that if the conditions weren't met it would fall to a 5th or 6th at worst.
I am sure the conditions involve some NHL games and Nashville can just keep him buried all year in order to get a free asset. Oh well, just would've been nice to get something in return. I suppose there is still a chance we will.

Doubt we ever see that 4th rounder for Reinhart. Have to think it's similar NHL games played condition on that pick from Nashville.

Kris Draper! Right. Forgot about that one.
The baseball ones are minor leagues but the hockey ones were NHL I believe.
Back in the day the NHL was much less professional. Sometimes I miss those days. Not the hockey, but the hilarity.
Imagine being traded for a team bus. Not a good one.

You're probably thinking this was some random American minor league trade from 50 years ago, in reality it was the Calgary Vipers doing...

Just looked up the bat man's story - his name was John Odom. He died of an accidental overdose, with heroin and meth being key players. It's unfair to characterize the trade as the cause of his death. He was a heroin addict.

Eddie Shore traded a player for a net. He forgot to make the condition a new hockey net. He almost went through the roof when a ratty used goal was sent to him.

Okay, fair enough. I thought that his drug use was a condition of his depression caused by his low perceived value but it was a long time ago so I'm not entirely sure.
