On the recommendation - it’s mentioned in the report.

I n his last performance evaluation, dated June 29, 2010 (after Aldrich had separated from the team), but unsigned by Quenneville and Aldrich, Quenneville wrote: “Aldrich did a great job for the Coaching staff in preparing us for all of our meetings and coordinating several tasks that we forward his way. Brad has several people relying on him at the same moment and has a way of deflecting and accommodating everyone at once … Congrats on winning the Stanley Cup!”

Unsigned performance evaluations...not signed reference letter as has been oft stated.

The rest of the paragraph you quoted is also relevant:

When interviewed, Quenneville stated that he did not recall whether he wrote the June 29, 2010 evaluation of Aldrich, or if he knew whether Aldrich had been separated at the time, but did not dispute that he may have written the evaluation.58 He further stated that the review looked to him like something he would write.59 Additional performance evaluations of coaches dated June 29, 2010, also unsigned by Quenneville, were similarly written and contain the same language congratulating the employee on the Stanley Cup win.

In other words...we won the friggin' Stanley Cup...we can mail-in the performance reviews this year.

Perf review dated June 29. Aldrich already had his 'resignation' meeting with HR and outside counsel on June 16. Did Q bother following up (this might have been a good reminder)? Or were these anything more than a formality that he didn't even bother to sign? Was he instructed to just continue business as usual..."the Aldrich situation has been dealt with".

Or did Q order someone to deal with personnel files...or was it someone else in the org...

The three evaluations we located were unsigned Microsoft Word documents stored in electronic folders; because we were unable to locate Aldrich’s personnel file, we cannot say with certainty that the evaluations we located were the final versions or were in fact ever finalized, though no one to whom we showed the unsigned evaluations suggested they were materially different from final versions.

Let's not forget who the real monster is here:

Several former players explained that they enjoyed speaking to Aldrich because Aldrich informed players in advance if they had a chance to make the game lineup.65

Seems like he may have really targetted the fringe players whom he'd actually have some power over.
