Unless you believe that the Flames' motives were nefarious, in that they were consciously covering up for Dube in some way (a very difficult position to take), what does it matter?

I think it was as simple as:
Dube/agent: I need to take a personal leave of absence - it's for mental health reasons.
Flames: OK, what do you want us to say?
Dube/agent: Just what I said is fine.
I imagine the Kylington conversation went the same way except what Kylington wanted them to say back then is what they released back then.
To think it's any more than that you have to decide that the Flames have lied ion their recent press release. Remember the timing wasbefore the announcement that 5 arrests were going to be made. So assumptions and speculation aside, all the Flames had was general knowledge that Dube, and a bunch of other people, were on the WJC team and attended the event and that he'd denied any wrongdoing like a bunch of other players.
