			LOL love this.  There was no way Neal was going to score those goals.  Hell Oilers might have rested him if he got within one.

			Take it. Don’t think Neal would have scored the 2 goals . I think Lucic would have gotten another 2-3 goals.

Correct, hat trick on New Year's Eve. Nothing since.

			My guess is they'll defer it to 2021. Would be funny if they played much worse and gave us an early 3rd (60's) pick.

			Would be nice to draft in the 3rd, there's some talent there to access this year.

			Yay!  This is awesome news.  Takes away some of the sting for that trade.

I would be surprised if this didn't happen.

			After they were pro rating stats you knew this was going to be the way. I laugh at all the Edmonton fans and media saying nope no way.
 Funny thing is I bet Neal wouldn't have hit the total in his 12 or so remaining games.

			Didn't the NHL come out a few weeks ago and say that they were going to stay out of it and the teams would try and work out a deal themselves.  Maybe I was dreaming.

No, but he did record a solid slashing penalty on Tuesday. What a leader!

			After all the lotteries it is nice to see a coin flip go against them.

Dealing with Edmonton? Might as well try dealing with a child that hasn't had nap time.

			I'm unaware.  If they prorated this trade clause, will they be prorating performance bonuses in contracts as well?

The trade isn't what stung, it was Neal's descent into terrible. His deal was pretty well-praised when signed. It just turned out he decided to stop giving a s***. 
 
Getting someone back who DOES give a s*** is gravy, the contracts are a wash, and now we have a 3rd on top of it? While dumping a pure bum of a player onto our bitter rivals? Its the best that could've be done, IMO.

			Tre must've had a crystal ball when he proposed those conditions. They were spot on. One month of mcdavid rebounds and it netted them a third. Just more subtle wizarding I see.

			The view from the other side.https://twitter.com/user/status/1289377115930914816   
I can't wait to hear the reaction from the likes of Staples and Spector.

			Spector already retweeted someone else's "surprised they would pro-rate for trade conditions" tweet.
