They were about to acquire Zucker, but they needed Edwards' permission, and Edwards wasn't available. Boomer said that this has happened many times.
I had heard rumors of these things, but I didn't know they were conclusive.

Ben Bishop was the other case where supposedly they had a trade made but needed Edwards sign off, and he couldn't be reached. Think that was 16-17 and then Bishop was traded to LAK instead.
The Darryl Sutter hiring always seemed to be obviously a Edwards hire. Don't think Treliving necessarily opposed it, but I do think that Sutter was the only coach Edwards would probably open up the chequebook for.
