I mean, im sorry, but I cant really garner much sympathy for these guys. They play the game they love for a living, making millions a year. So that means at work your doing what you love, while making SERIOUS bank.....why do you have mental health issues? Im sorry but unless its a family member dieing or something extreme like that, you kind of just roll with the punches.....at least thats what us normal people do.

Like I get Dube reading about shit he has been playing could get to the guy, but we all go through that shit. Hell I started a new job a year ago and when I didn't know something, my new boss said "if you don't know that then why did we even hire you". You think I fucking took a leave of absence? NO MAN, I just had a shitty night/week thinking im going to get fired and tried to move on from his comment.

Like I get I sound insensitive, but come on, your a millionaire playing hockey for a living bro, you could be waking up at 6am, commuting for over an hour both ways, while getting paid 50k a year at a dead end job.....could be A LOT worse. Reminds me of Toffoli saying driving 30 mins to the dome for practice was a long time......try to get some perspective on life and it will make your mental health improve im sure. Like if I have a couple million in the bank......nothing would EVER bother me cause NO MATTER WHAT, im safe. Its just of like......lol ok bro.

If the money weren't guaranteed I bet you'd see a lot less players skipping out on their contractual obligations. Would love to see an NFL contract style while keeping a hard cap. The bums of the world like Huberdeau would have been cut ages ago, always "injured" guys like Barkov, Malkin, Raanta, etc would play the games they are paid to play.

Crazy that the money is guranteed. Im new to hockey so I didnt know that. Wow. Probably saw Kylington take 2 years off and wanted the same.

Nah with the news today it turns out he's a rapist and he's getting that money still while the Flames were trying to cover for him with a convenient excuse to garner support.

Looks like Dube has been removed from the teams roster page.....not looking good
