I remember a few years ago when meddling owners was brought up, can't recall the exact scenario that brought this on, but the question was asked to Friedman and he basically said if you think all owners in the NHL don't have input/meddle in hockey ops, you're kidding yourself.

These guys are all invested in how their money is spent and like to be involved in decisions, because it's fun for them.

On top of that, it's the biggest negotiation they've had in franchise history I would imagine. I can absolutely see owners being invested in the process.
