I don't think its insulting at all.
He just made $5M for playing a few months. Thats a cold way to look at it, and I'm sure the Flames don't, but I think its entirely reasonable to go short term and for less dollars as a show of good faith. And as I mentioned, he needs to play a year with as little stress hanging over him as possible. Another big ticket, long term deal may not be what he needs.
