This was all a negotiation that probably went on for a few days. Apparently Peters wanted to be able to say he resigned so he negotiated for that. Kind of a hollow victory as everyone knows what happened. I thought symbolically Flames would want to be able to at least say it was by mutual decision but I guess they just wanted this to go away. Only question is how big was the cheque. I’m guessing he got paid everything he was due under his contract.
And now both sides can’t say anything publicly but for Peters I don’t see how that helps too much if the league is going to investigate him and potentially levy discipline, which would be public.
