We can't go off precedent all the time if the precedent was wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. The Mike and Molholt decision was wrong, but the better of two evils at the time. This situation has a very straightforward solution and we shouldn't look at Seattle and Toronto as the template to follow.
Great to see new blood in the GM role. I mean, it was the same with Ahma, but I feel he was slightly pushed into the job, while you openly wanted it, which can only be a good thing.
