First of all,
not keeping in their lane is one of the best ways for senior managers to get fired.
Secondly, ‘assistant GM’ in the NHL is not a senior management position. It's pretty much the bottom level of management, there may be multiple people with that title, and their duties vary widely from one team to another and even from one AGM to another in the organization.

Try ‘no authority to override the people who were supposed to be doing that job’.
I believe it was mentioned that several of the people at the crucial meeting didn't even remember that Cheveldayoff was there. That doesn't make it sound like he had enough authority for anyone even to bother paying attention to him. It appears that nobody involved was required to report to him, and a year after the incident he was out of the organization.
Aldrich was dealt with by the Blackhawks' HR department, and after that, I don't suppose Cheveldayoff was privy to any information that showed the incident had not been adequately dealt with. If he had gone public about it, it would have been with incomplete evidence, legally classifiable as hearsay. He couldn't have filed a credible police report unless other Blackhawks employees were willing to be involved.
Now, I could be wrong about these things, but clearly Bettman and the investigators did not find any proof that would implicate Cheveldayoff beyond his presence at the meeting. I don't believe that in itself constitutes grounds to fire him from a different job at a different employer over a decade later.
