Why not, players do that all the time.
If the Flames do want him they are not going to low ball him by offering him $1 million per season. If they think so little of him I doubt they will even bother to offer him a contract.
Players often don't take highly discounted salaries to remain on teams where they were integral players in the past. They often sign somewhere else if they want to do that. Using the players from GioForPM's post, Spezza, Chara, Perry, Yandle and Parise all took their discounted contracts on different teams.
