In any privately-owned business, the owners dictate the limits of GM's authority on new acquisitions. NHL business is not that different. The owners own the team. It's absolutely their prerogative to approve or disapprove significant trades. If Katz wants Yakupov against all the advice he's been given by his minions, Katz gets Yakupov. If Edwards didn't like Zucker deal, he didn't approve it. His reasons don't really matter.
