They can sign to 8 years.
Player needs to either have been on their team in the most recent trade deadline (Huberdeau was not) or be signed through the subsequent trade deadline (Huberdeau is).
Gaudreau was a UFA but the Flames could have signed him to an 8 year contract because he was on their team for the most recent trade deadline, no other team could.
