It was a misstep and you can see how the other teams handled it better. There was no really no reason to mention his mental health at all. But it’s certainly not a coverup IMO.

I understand the Flames are in a tricky spot here as an employer. They’re basically just passing along the info that Dube gave them for taking a leave. Does an employer start digging into the reason with them? Imagine if you said you needed to take a mental health leave from work and your boss was like, “we’ve heard things, is that really why?”
