First, that Letang trade is hilarious. Letang, often injured and signed for term and high AAV is almost untradeable and is certainly not worth a 1st, especially from a rebuilding team. Letang will not suddenly end the rebuild, no way Montreal considers this.
Second, Detroit doesn't need either player. Rust is over 30, and Petry 35. This doesn't align with the rebuild timeline, with old players likely to decline as the team is ready to compete. Add 3 million retained on Rust, take back Chiarot, and make it 2 4th round picks, and Detroit accepts.
Finally, you might be right about Pettersson, but I doubt it. 1 goal a year doesn't net you a 1st.
