That's the norm with high profile free agents, the owner will be part of the discussion for sure when $80M contracts are being handed out.
IIRC when Stamkos was being pitched by the Leafs they had the MLSE group, Mayor John Tory, and the CEO of Canadian Tire (which should been considered cap circumvention but anywho)
There are reasons to not like Murray Edwards...him being involved in the Gaudreau contract talks are not one of them
