I mean, we can go through pretty much every team (look at Lemieux's Penguins and Quinn) and probably all of them have shown they don't give a #### as long as they think the fans will continue to pay for their tickets. At least St. Louis was willing to give Gilmour away, but I imagine they have their own skeletons. Maybe not.
But I mean with the Flames using the good-will they had accumulated with the Kylington situation by bringing up mental health for a player they knew was accused of rape was bull####. No better than what the Oilers will do. So again, my point is glass houses.

Sorry, but you’re off here.
Dube came to the team with a mental health issue. When that happens an employer MUST take it at face value and only state that as the message.
Anything else opens up a lot of issues on the employer.
The Flames did not “bring up” mental health. Dube did. They had to follow it.
