Tonight, Chris Johnston and friends are revealing the NHL’s rulings on conditional draft-pick trades that are outstanding. The most contentious was the Milan Lucic - James Neal swap:
The NHL has made a ruling on the conditions in the July 2019 James Neal/Milan Lucic trade: The #oilers will transfer their third-round pick in either 2020 or 2021 to the #flames to complete the deal.
Edmonton has until the start of the third round in 2020 to decide which pick.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) August 1, 2020This also affects the Sami Vatanen trade to Carolina.
