From what we have seen, Huberdeau’s cap hit would be worth about a 1st and 2nd round pick every year of his deal if the Flames chose to use it that way.

But the Flames aren’t going to be a cap team after this offseason. They have 57 million dollars committed next season with Markstrom. If they actually trade Markstrom they are down to 51 million dollars.
Cap won’t be an issue even with Huberdeau’s contract on the books. They can take all the cap dumps they want as long as they don’t do dumb things in free agency
