The conditional pick

What are the “conditions” for the conditional seventh-round pick involved in the Kings-Columbus trade for Fredrik Modin? In my post-deadline conversation with him, Dean Lombardi had mentioned it being tied to the number of games Modin played, but it appears that Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch has found the answer. In a blog post, Reed reports that Columbus will only get the seventh-round pick if the Kings win the Stanley Cup this season.
