The point where he points out "A decade ago" seems like he is suggesting it was soooooo long ago

Honestly, whether he apologized to his team or not afterward doesn't matter.

Burke saying right now his attorneys likely drafted it this way because they have other issues yet. I don't think you can fault Peters for following the advice of his lawyers.

Another aspect is that his job entirely relies on buy-in from others. He has most likely entirely lost the room, and won’t be able to do his job effectively. Personally, he lost a lot of my respect a few days ago, and this letter release has also lost more of my respect. I was actually quite hopeful about him starting this season.
As others have mentioned, there are other layers as well. This apology is a veiled ‘self defence’ as he tries to explain his version of events, emphasize the length of time ago since it happened, etc.

As a lawyer I kind of get it, but I think it isn’t near good enough. I don’t think his advice was good.

Peters is back in CGY. The Flames are on their way home from BUF. It would appear lawyers are continuing to do lawyerly things. There could be some form of closure by tomorrow but that’s not absolutely guaranteed just yet.

Why issue the letter at all then if he can’t actually apologize due to legal issues?

It's because he doesn't expect the organization will represent his position publicly the way he wants.
So he is getting his position out there himself so as to not be railroaded.

Nothing endearing in that letter. The “a decade ago” used in the first sentence sets the tone as being about absolving himself rather than making amends.

They didn’t say that (at least from what I saw), just variations of what’s been said here; likely advice of lawyers etc.

I think the difference here is if the information came out that he did what he did, and indeed apologized immediately for it, this likely goes a different way.
If you cant hold yourself accountable until you get caught, then is the apology as meaningful?

If you are in the "Peters ought to be fired" camp, I am curious to know what you would consider to be an appropriate apology that he could have submitted where he could keep his job? Does such an apology exist in today's cancel culture?

You could fire him and still negotiate a settlement. I think that’s possible tonight.
