I’m have read a couple of fanboy articles mentioning the Flames trying to get out of that deal and I just can’t see it for many reasons. This is about creating a better environment for Huberdeau to succeed and not dumping him for nothing or even worse paying a team to take him on

I am pretty sure Eklund just lifted that idea from this recent THW piece that suggests the Flames could use Arizona to ditch the Huberdeau contract.

The premise is that Huberdeau's NMC kicks in on July 1st so this might be the only time to ever trade him. They suggest the trade would be for prospects, swapping 1st rounders (16th for the 12th pick), plus a 3rd rounder.... because obviously a 3rd rounder would be needed to get a deal done.
