Have people been arguing that it's made up or just that maybe it wasn't the best to frame the leave as a mental health leave with the potential this was coming down the pipeline (confirmed or not at that time).

I think most have acknowledged that Dube likely does have some mental health issues he'd be struggling with right now due to the circumstances, just didn't seem overly smart of the organization to frame the leave that way.

I do think the best argument about the Flames post was that the Flames didn't offer any real sympathy or well wishes to Dube in their initial post (with the comparisons to Laine's press release) ...which is probably a sign there was more going on but maybe they were pressured into framing it that way.
