I don't know exactly what it looks like. But I've seen plenty of executive contracts, including in this context. There's a good argument that his past actions hurt the Flames. But that's not really the contractual question. Morals clauses are read very restrictively to begin with. I've never seen one that would allow for a ten year old event to constitute the type of bad behavior which would void a contract like this. So IMO it's not impossible, just really really unlikely.
