The only contract of concern on the flames is Hubys. And I actually think he's still tradable for little return to a team like Detroit or Columbus. Wouldn't have to sacrifice assets and could free up cap space.

There is next to no chance any team is looking to grab Huberdeau off our hands without sending something equally as franchise killing back. That's a hard ask given he could turn out to be on one of the worst deals in the NHL if this play continues beyond this year.
The best hope now is that he rebounds to a 70 point player next year, but judging on what I've seen this season, it will be a tall ask.
It's kind of surprising the team didn't try to give Wolf a go while Markstrom is away for a day or two. Very easy to tell him to take 3-4 days and give our top prospect a shot at a start or two.
