How is Huberdeau's contract hurting the team now? It's just not, except for the peple who feel badly when it's mentioned in an article as a bad contract. He doesn't prevent the Flames from making any moves. In fact, he allows the Flames to shed more salary than if he was paid $6M because he helps maintain the cap floor.

The point is that whether the contract at the moment is hurting the team is superficial. I'd rather be worried about the cap hit because the player lived up to the contract and the team didn't have to tear down.
It's good that the contract isn't hurting the team now, but that is because everything failed.
