Good news then, we have detailed information on what Seabrook did, or more accurately didn't do in this saga.
He didn't come forward despite knowing about it.
He didn't stop the victim from being verbally abused by teammates after the fact.
He didn't speak up when his organization sang the abuser's praises.
He hasn't, with hindsight, come forward to speak to the critical and massive failures made by his former organization while he was there and an on-ice leader within that organization.
Again, this shame isn't his alone but he does share in it. Trying to down play it, imply his role was lesser, or his failure to act was less problematic is a disservice to the severity of what was happening.
Only making these arguments vocally after he joins your organization is particularly cheap.
