His agent also made veiled threats if anyone said otherwise, which I didn't see come from anyone else, other than Carter Hart's side.
Here is Dube's response. They never say that he wasn't involved, only that he didn't do any criminal wrongdoings, and he is cooperating. Carter Hart's reps gave a pretty similar statement.
Compare that to the others.

This seems identical, for Jake Bean, Carter Hart, Colton Point, Kale Clague, Jordan Kyrou, Taylor Raddysh:
Toronto lawyer Scott Fenton wrote to Global News at the time that his firm represents one of these players and that he consulted with counsel for the other players. He declined to identify that player. He told Global:
"None of the players you reference engaged in any wrongdoing, all of the players co-operated fully with the independent London Police Service investigation in 2018, and all players were then cleared of any wrongdoing.
Almost identical to Dube's:
"All of CBC News' questions will be asked and answered during the pending NHL investigation. Dillon did not engage in any wrongdoing, and he co-operated fully with the independent London Police Service investigation in 2018, through which all players were then cleared of any wrongdoing.
