Huberdeau is the 10th highest paid player in the league. If his production matched, that would give us a player like Petterson, Rantanen, Matthews. The Flames would likely be in a playoff spot and they wouldn't even be trying to rebuild. So the only reason you could even make the argument that his contract might not matter is because he's ridiculously underachieved.
How is trading Zadorovs 3.75M for cap space spun as such a good move yet Huberdeaus 10.5 that doesn't matter?
