No thanks, RD is our strength. And Givani Smith is exactly what we need.

Los Angeles declines. However that offer was conveyed to us, we know it was a fake.

Wings accept

I don't agree. (on the RD that is)

We have Hronek and Seider, that's about it.
Stecher is UFA next year and it's highly uncertain if he stays and if so at what price.
Lindström is solid but will never be a huge point scorer.
Seth Barton is the only RD in Grand Rapids
LD prospects are bountiful but not RD.
Liljegren could turn out to he better than Hronek and if that happens then Hronek can be traded for a haul of assets, much more than Smith will ever get us in a trade.
Liljegren is waivers exempt for next year and can be used for call-ups without risk of losing him.
Smith is currently our 9th winger and next year Raymond and Berggren comes up.

This is a very good deal for Detroit.

Tuomisto and Stetcher are also potential long term RD options.
Acquiring Liljegren as a reclaimation project for a prospect (ish) works, Svechnikov, Cholowski etc would be fine.
I would honestly keep Givani Smith over them because he is both reasonably skilled and could comfortably play in an NHL bottom 6, contribute some offence and reasonable defence, but he can also beat the piss out of people like Jamie Benn. We just don't really have anyone else that can do that in the pipeline.
