If it gets to the point of ownership approval for the deal, Brad should be fired on the spot. He should be smarter than this to think he can try and change the guy.

I think GMs are propably mostly pretty honest to each other about this stuff, because it's in their long term interest to be seen as trustworthy negotiation partners.
That isn't due diligence though. DD would be crosschecking multiple sources to make sure it's NOT a case of the Rangers just not liking a guy for his political views, or an unfair dogpile which has driven a young player to lash out.
That crosschecking is also how everything leaks, because then multiple people know the Flames es are asking questions about DeAngelo.
