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.

Well that’s the whole point up for debate right now isn’t it? Whether he has violated terms of his contract, perhaps through some morality clause. The “for cause” language maybe isn’t the most appropriate.
I assume Flames are working on the exact language they are putting in his termination letter. Or maybe they make him an offer. Here’s a $1 million Bill. Sign a confidentiality agreement so no one knows we paid you this and we terminate your contract. Otherwise go ahead and sue us and you can relive all this #### you put yourself and others through.
Either way it’s time to ####can this loser.
