Again, you cannot violate a contract before you enter into it. The contract could contain some representation on his part that he has disclosed all relevant information about his past work history to the team, or some such, but a breach of a representation isn't generally enough to terminate a contract.

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.

It's possible they're negotiating, but that doesn't seem like sound strategy to me. It could take a while, all the while the media spotlight is on the team for all the wrong reasons. Just doesn't seem worth it. Fire him first, then negotiate to settle his potential lawsuit, if that's the road you want to go down.
