For example, Gadjovich's lawyer called the incident reprehensible and was a lot stronger in his words when it came to cooperating. If a lawyer thought their client did something reprehensible, I doubt they would air that publicly. You never know though, maybe their client wasn't forthright either.
Strickland tweeted in August that there would be a total of 5 players suspended once everything is final and hinted that he knew the names, but couldn't mention them. More than 5 players gave really vague answers though.

It boggles my mind that these players wouldn't have been suspended with pay in August. Knowingly having gang rapists on your team is a bad look.
When the said player is a 4th line player on a non-playoff team and you just got $700m in public money...why you'd continue to dress such a player would be unfathomable. There's actually zero reason to do so. Very stupid behavior on the flames if they knew Dube is one of the rapists and kept him around the team and playing games.
