Generally in a situation like this they provide the person with permission to talk to a team - because it's the honorable thing to do. Every team in the league knows that they want to bring the GM in prior to the draft and July 1st. Hell the Flames are probably doing it right now if they are interviewing any assistant GMs for their open role.
If they are concerned about the draft, in the past they have just said "you're not allowed to be part of the draft process" (think that was partially the case in Treliving's first year here).
Edwards is doing this is pure just out of spite to Treliving, has nothing to do with protecting some special draft strategy.

He wouldn't show up to the draft but it doesn't mean he wouldn't be part of their draft meetings. Who would let that leak out if he was?
