I personally would be horrified if the Flames signed him to this deal. Sure it's nowhere close to the worst deals in the NHL but it's not a good deal at all for the Habs.

I think everyone thought Petry was a 3/4 paired with a bunch of 5/6/7s on the number 1 pairing and I think everyone agreed that the Oilers offer of 4 was a joke.
This is not a terrible deal for a 3/4 and really not terrible is what you hope for when going for UFAs.
