If we are making the results of the criminal case the most important factor in determining whether he should have a contract or not then it follows some people will welcome him back with open arms should be be acquitted.
I'm curious where people stand on this.

I think that's going to be determined by how many details surface in public and how bad they are.
Look at Perry, he seemed to have done something pretty despicable (not equating to this, only for an example) and there was zero outcry when he re-signed because none of the details came out. Court of public opinion is hugely impactful.
If I'm guessing, given the media interest here I expect that a lot of unpalatable details are going to surface and the Flames will let him walk after his deal expires this summer and these guys will be playing in europe at best if they are free afterwards.
given dube is expiring this summer it's a bit of a moot point for the flames. The only real question is will they retain his RFA rights and I'd guess no
