It definitely is nothing. Everyone knows Detroit is going to finish dead last next season. The odd of NJ moving up above Detroit are low. Detroit is not going to move down 3 picks for some lame chance.
I'm not recommending this trade but it's clear that you don't have a good sense of the odds of NJ picking ahead of Detroit next year. Far higher than zero, closer to 30%. Three teams with better records just passed Detroit in the 2020 lottery, and two teams passed Detroit the year prior. If you think Detroit is a lock for #1OA in 2021 then you are the most optimistic Wings fan on the boards.
