From a logical standpoint it’s hard to fault the flames about the statement. There’s zero reason they’d want to cover up for a non star player. Especially if charges were coming down imminently. Dube was also the first player to push the eject button. So if he gave that excuse I’m sure today they’re annoyed given more information. I’m 99% most of the league knew the major names involved so in hindsight they’d have probably wish they put an “indefinite leave for personal reasons” instead of mental health statement. But hindsight is what it is. There would be no reason they’d actively cover up for him but they should have a policy going forward that anyone taking leave should be at first “for personal reasons”.
