I don't think any player has ever done that although Lucic did say he considered hanging up his skates early when he was depressed in Edm/Cgy.

Maybe Huberdeau would not terminate the whole contract, but maybe he would agree to have it reworked and brought down by a couple of million dollars a year or a couple of years to help facilitate a trade.
Money is great but he has lots and if it means not being happy he might decide that it is worth it to mutually adjust the contract so that he gets his money, the Flames retain control of an asset value, and his contract is structured to make it easier to move him.
Depends upon if the CBA allows such an action to be taken.
