This was a last ditch effort from Dube to save face and for the Flames to score some social justice points. Bad look all around.

It may have been a last ditch effort for Dube, but the Flames were clearly going on the information they had at the time and took Dube at his word.
Ask yourself, what was in it for the Flames to lie? The answer is an astounding "NOTHING". So, my logic dictates they didn't. They wouldn't play the "mental health" angle to gain a couple days of good faith for Dube and jeopardize their own word. It doesn't make any sense, they clearly went by the information they had at the time, and Dube's word.
