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?

Sure, but in this particular instance, there is 0% chance the Flames weren't aware this was a possibility.
Because one is legitimately suffering from a mental health issue and the other is allegedly about to face charges for sexual assault?
They should have said he was on leave and left it at that. That's what all the other clubs are doing.
