Can't comment on settlement with Peters, due to confidentiality. Can't comment on League/Aliu/Peters going forward - it's not something they are part of or want to be.
Again, thanks for coming, see you at the game.

Well I don’t think you will hear the word settlement, and if you do it will be an accident.
And while I expect him to say something nice about Peters, those will also be carefully chosen words. I’m guessing he won’t call him generally a good guy. I don’t mean to dissect your statement, it’s just that I will just find his choice of words interesting. My guess is he will be nervous and we will hear a ton of repetition. Don’t blame him.
I’m curious whether this will all be attributed to the racist incident from 10 years or if he will in any way reference other behavior.
He should get asked how he would characterize Peters behavior as coach of the Flames and whether any claims of inappropriate behavior have been made.
