This just isnt in the realm of close enough to move up to the #3 OA. There's a TON of data to show DET would basically have to give their entire draft (maybe more in all honesty) to move up to #3.
This is not close to reality actually. According to EVERY NHL Draft Track value chart out there, the 3rd pick is worth anywhere between 13-15 points more than the 6th pick. To make up the 15 points (using the high end of the scale), they would need to give up the 35th pick (worth around 11 points, using the low end), and the 57th pick (worth about 4 points on the low end). So, it would be the 6th, 35th, and 57th for the 3rd pick. It's not their entire draft.
That being said, no way KH (and it will be KH, unless Tampa releases Stevie early, which I don't see them doing) trades multiple shots of success to move up for a dman. DET needs Cs as well, and there will be a number of them at 6 to choose from that would fit the mold (Turcotte, or even either of the righties Dach or Cozens, and DET needs right handed Cs). Byram isn't that much better than the Cs (and is many arguments, isn't better than Turcotte, Cozens, or Dach, depending on the evaluator).
The funny thing is, Chicago needs Cs as well (can't go forever with Towes, and all of CHIs best prospects are Dman with Henri, Beaudin, and Boqvist) as does Colorado (Makar, Timmins, Girard, and Meloche are all dman, but outside of Kaut, who does COL got as Fs). LA just needs talent, so they'll draft the BPA. If Podkolzin was available at 6, KH could realistically trade down (EDM, PHI, would be of interest) and pick up picks to get to the next level (with EDM pick being the target to still secure a top C while EDM would draft Podkolzin).
