Dubynk was making 3.5M in 2014.

Oilers retained 50% when he was traded to Nashville. Each team was on the hook for 1.75M.

Nashville than traded him to Montreal, retaining 50% of his remaining (so 25% of the original) at 0.875M. Montreal buried him for no cap-hit (as it was below the cutoff). Nashville took 0.875M on the cap, Oilers took 1.75M on the cap. So the Flames could retain an additional 50% of Lucic's contract.

I do note that the Flames, if they were trade him at 50% next off-season after the bonus is paid out, would mean the acquiring team would actually only be on the hook for 4.375M (not 5M) over 3 years, or just under 1.5M AAV as I forgot to account for the Oiler's retention in that last post.
