The Calgary Flames have issued a statement that, frankly, looks like they're trying to distance themselves from forward Dillon Dube a bit. You may recall that Dube was the first of the four NHL players implicated in this investigation that took a leave of absence from his team. At the time, it was billed as an indefinite leave to <q>address his mental health. </q> The following day, Carter Hart, Cal Foote, and Michael McLeod all also took a leave of absence, but it was not billed as a 'mental health' leave. The Flames are now stating that they did NOT know about Dube's pending charges when they granted him his mental health leave of absence. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLFlames/status/1752497603806413102'> </a></blockquote></div>
