Speculation: Jonathan Huberdeau is open to waiving his NMC to go to a contender

I am curious about this as well. Can a player & team just decide to walk away from a contract if it's mutual?

Why on earth would he walk away from $10.5 M per year

Do the Flames wish they were getting more value from Huberdeau? Absolutely. But I would argue that there are other players on other teams that have contracts that are much more damaging to the team than Huberdeau's is to the Flames. Darnell Nurse for example.
Right now Huby's contract has absolutely no effect on the Flames.. other than getting them over the cap floor.

uno reverso?
The Florida Panthers made a massive move late Friday night, trading for Calgary Flames winger Matthew Tkachuk. Calgary acquired forward Jonathan Huberdeau, defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, prospect Cole Schwindt and a lottery protected 2025 first-round pick in the deal, and it also sent a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick the Panthers' way.
