The problem with your argument is that the Flames would need Dube to explain why he is suffering from mental health issues. That's not how it works. If he requested mental health leave and this is supported by a letter from an appropriate health professional, then he's on leave. Period. So you can be sure that he really is legitimately on mental health leave.
WHY he is on leave is no one's business but his own. We can speculate, the Flames can speculate, but no decisions can be made regarding granting mental health leave based on speculation. Of course, it looks bad, but the Flames can't start hedging the messages without real information. Let's pretend that he isn't involved, then would we bash the Flames for leading us on with a more ambiguous statement?
I also don't understand why we would start comparing speculated reasons for mental health leave. Do you know the reason behind Kylington's mental health struggles? Do you know if they are "better" reasons? What exactly has he gone through that is being minimized?
