Ok, here is my jail-break scenario re: Huby.
We owe him $73.5M for the remainder of his contract.
We agree to mutually terminate his contract, and then re-sign him for 3 years at league max ($17.6M*3 = $52.8M).

Why would he walk away from $20M?
Getting out of 4 years in a place he is unhappy is valuable. He will be able to make up some of the financial loss in free agency, and be in a better environment for his skill set.

Why would the Flames agree to pay him league max?
We would save $20M overall and do not need the cap space over the next 3 years.

I don't believe this violates the CBA, but someone smarter than I can tell me otherwise.
