Different teams have different policies, and they use different legal counsellors. If I am not mistaken, Dube was also the first to take leave, and this may have prompted how other teams decided to handle their public statements.
But, anyone suggesting that the Flames are "masking" the seriousness of Dube's potential legal troubles, or that they are somehow "complicit" because of the statement they produced are being reactionary. There are so many things that we don't know about each situation which makes it impossible to form clear judgments about team motivations. Especially from something so opaque as this:
