If Feaster needs to run routine deals by ownership that is pretty bad in my view. If they are squashing deals for any reason outside of not wanting to spend money to buyout a guy, not wanting to add a 100 million dollar deal or wanting to keep an all-time Icon then there is a big issue.
If 28 teams are having ownership review trades on the Tyler Seguin level then there are 28 teams doing something wrong and I would expect it is the Bruins and Hawks that would be the two teams not doing it based on results this season.

Trading a top 10 pick + for a player with a $6M salary is likely something that needs to be passed by ownership considering Feaster convinced ownership they need to rebuild. Trading the highest draft choice for a player does not entirely fit with the plan even though Seguin is young
