If Dube's mental health is suffering because he was either part of the assault or helped cover it up. Good. Rapists and Pedophiles deserve zero sympathy and should be buried under the prison. But the man still deserves his day in court.
If Dube's absence has nothing to do with this, I'm pretty sure the Flames would have released a statement by now clarifying it. No differently than "Not substance abuse related" clarifications.
If the Flames Org. has had any part in buying him sympathy and/or misleading the public on this absence they will never see another nickel of support from me and have lost a lifelong 45 year fan. He should have been unceremoniously removed from the roster, nothing more. Simply for "Personal reasons."
I certainly hope this is all a horribly timed coincidence, but I highly doubt it.
