DET needs LaFreniere even more. They need a superstar, and he's the only one in this draft. They can work with Rasmussen and Veleno as your middle 6 Cs (which is what Cirelli is), but the need for talent trumps everything.
Also, that trade is awful. Think about the Lindros deal. The cost for 1OA would probably look like this:
DET sends 1OA
OTT sends 3OA (using the scenario above), 2020 1st round pick (SJS), 2020 1st round pick (NYI) and Josh Norris.
