Agree. Putting yourself in the teams' shoes and knowing Dube was on that team: The team is stuck. The conversation with Dube would be sensitive. Asking things like "were you involved? What did you do?" would have the agent and a lawyer calling if no charges filed. The flames could do their own investigation, but not sure that gets any further than the police nor the league. Treliving and Conroy were stuck.

There is not much the flames nor teammates could do other than take him at his word. The guy is under contract. So you support him as best you can without overtly taking a side until you know more. ####ty situation to find yourself.
