NHL Rules that Flames will Acquire 3rd from Oilers for Lucic-Neal Trade

One of the biggest questions on the minds of Flames and Oilers fans during the pandemic lockdown was what would happen to the conditional third round pick as part of the James Neal - Milan Lucic trade from last summer.

To refresh your memory, the Oilers were only to owe Calgary the aforementioned pick if Neal scored 21 or more goals in the regular season, and Lucic scored 10 or fewer goals than Neal. At the time of the stoppage, Neal had 19 goals with 11 games to go, while Lucic had 8 goals with 12 games to go.
