Either way, this is essentially corroborates your argument that it's a culture problem in hockey but doesn't mean Treliving or anyone else should escape culpability going forward.
If this is the beginning of the end of his tenure, so be it.

This is exactly what I think is delaying the removal of peters. He wants to be paid for the entire contract and he is reminding treliving that he knew about this when he hired peters. And thus there is no cause for dismissal on known events that happened a decade ago.
Either that or because treliving turned the blind eye on this the flames are going to fire both of them because peters is going to disclose what treliving knew when he hired peters
