Although I dislike any type of ownership involvement for the most part, the two rumoured deals (Bishop in the offseason, Seguin in 2013) that we avoided may actually end up in our favour.

Would have loved Bishop for cheap at the trade deadline though.

From an ownership perspective though I can see where a deal where the term is 6+ years and is costing $30+ Million dollars then maybe it should require some type of sign off from the owner.

However in the case of the trade deadline when you are getting a rental then Treliving should have full autonomy to make that deal no questions asked.
