That's pretty much on the ownership. If they want those two players bad enough they'll have to pay. Maybe even if they do wanna pay, the players don't wanna stay. Fail to see why the GM would get fired for that. He can't force them to stay and he can't pay them what they want without ownership approval.
Unless you mean if they don't sign AND Treliving doesn't maximize assets for them then you may have a point.

LOL.
Who else could it be on but the GM.
Ownership gives you a budget....as the GM you assemble a team that fits within that budget.
The concern is the GM has a habit of letting talented players walk and getting nothing in return.....Brodie and Gio come to mind.
This is the GM's job to get these 2 players signed or trade them for assets.
