This is one of the things that was changed in the 2020 CBA extension.
From the MOU:
Quote:
66. Traded Player Ability to Sign an 8-Year SPC
CBA §50.8(b)(iv) shall be amended to provide that when a Club acquires a Player who is signed through the subsequent Trade Deadline, it can immediately sign him to an 8-year SPC without waiting until the subsequent Trade Deadline if otherwise permitted to do so under Section 50.5(f).

So, the Flames don't have to do a sign-and-trade for him to sign an 8-year deal. Although, I doubt any team would make the trade on just the promise that he'd consider signing there long-term.
