Yeah I'm just not on the witch hunt chain gang.
Seems pointless to me.
I feel pretty strongly that whoever made the decision internally did what they thought was best at the time in managing all the moving parts (would Dube be charged? is he guilty? how much support does the team show the player? is mental health caused by being charged valid? did they even know he was going to implicated?)
That's a tough day for any department with a lot of things to balance, and none of it applies to a historical play book that they could reference.
At the end of the day 5 hockey players did something bad enough to now be charged. We will see how this shakes out.
The organization at worst had a misstep in how they worded a tough situation.
We live in a society of outrage now, so I'm not surprised, but I see little point in joining it.
