For me I focus on the overage, and not the total salary and it eases some pain!

Look here...Huberdeau is doing the Flames a favour and we need to respect that!
He is our Mandatory Cap Floor Requirement!
If they spread that money out evenly amongst other players that would ravage the team's Salary Structure so they just gave it all to Huberdeau so they could start the rebuild with a good salary foundation.
Plus he is integral part of improving player safety! More players are wearing those foot-protectors on their skates because they know Huberdeau is likely to hit the puck into their feet!
He's taking one for the Team!
