The Flames lawyers are never going to make the decision about whether to fire him or not. The details of the allegation are known, which have been publicly corroborated by two other individuals. They could certainly come up with an opinion that says whether or not, under his contract, Peter can be terminated without compensation, subject to the usual caveats on uncertainty as to what a court may decide.
What the Flames decide to do with that, and how the league and Peter's own lawyers play into that, can certainly add to the length of time it takes to fire him or not. However the opinion from the Flames own lawyers shouldn't take too much time given the amount of resources a top-flight firm would have
