So many bad-ridiculous takes in this thread. The Flames PR strategy on this has been just fine. They addressed the situation early and asked for privacy, which the media is respecting, as they should. The internet can speculate but even public figures have a right to privacy. There's nothing more for the team to say until something changes.
Also, the idea that some employers actually care about the well-being of their employees and would support them through a life crisis isn't crazy. Even if people don't get their full salary, that's what short- and long-term disability benefits are for.
Teams don't tear up contracts when there is a physical injury. Why would they consider it here if the result is the same: a player unable to play?
