See, this is just crazy talk as far as I can tell. He did not do this while he was employed by the team. There is therefore no cause. You generally can't be fired for cause for something you did before you were hired. The best they could possibly try would be to say that he should have disclosed this to the team when he was hired, but it would be unreasonable for him to be expected to do this.
They're well within their rights to fire him for the team's poor performance OR because they don't want to deal with this mess OR because they don't want a person with this in his past as part of the organization. But people really don't seem to be able to parse "terrible behaviour on the job leads to firing from this job" versus "terrible behaviour long before he took the job leads to firing from this job". They're hugely different issues, from an employer's perspective. If he'd said this stuff
while with the Flames, he'd have been fired for cause long before now and it wouldn't even be a close call.
