Adding Poehling is an overpay, heck even adding Kovalchuk. Johansen, currently, is a 50 point C making 8M, while Petry is a 5.5M 20+min/gm dman on pace for 45-50 points, which probably favours NSH this season and next. The extra seasons Johansen is signed for actually make him less valuable in my mind, although that's because I'm expecting at least 2 of Kotkaniemi, Suzuki and Poehling to be 50 point C or better in the next few years, making Johansen an 8M/season 3C.
I doubt Petry would be the RD NSH would be interested in anyway if they were dealing with MTL, although he is a good short term solution for them he doesn't help that highly damaging cap situation that might crop up down the road known as Weber's recapture penalty.
Also, MTL likely doesn't have much interest in Johansen, at least not in a deal like this. They aren't a 50 point C away from competing, especially if the are losing a 40 point RD in the process. If they are trading off Petry this season it would either need to be an obvious overpay, since MTL doesn't need to deal him this season to not lose him for nothing, or it means they are committing to finishing the rebuild that last seasons run caused them to drop, and while Johansen would be just inside the age of players I would consider keeping the fact that he has that much term at that price makes him a bad choice.
