Those suspensions pretty much come after an investigation and or hard evidence of a misdeed.
This is a verbal accusation, right now that's all it is, its not grounds for dismissal and if the Flames lets say did, its a reputation killer for Peters, and I'm pretty sure his lawyers are going after the Flames.
I'm probably on the side of them putting him on a paid leave of absence pending a full investigation, probably by the league and not the Flames.
But the Flames have to tread carefully on all sides on this one and its not going to go away over the next few days or weeks.
