If we break it down, Jack is probably worth more than Petey. Bargain 8M contract, only 22, already scoring at a 100pt pace but arguably not as strong defensively as Petey. 

Luke is already playing 20 minutes a night, a future top pairing defenceman, putting up some points but getting decimated defensively. We're talking an already-1C and future 1LD very soon (maybe within a year).

 

So Jack is probably worth Petey + solid prospect (think Raty, Podkolzin, maybe Lekkerimaki even).

Luke is hard as there aren't many young defencemen getting traded around the league these days. You could argue Provorov/Chychrun/Hronek are nice examples but they're all older and more in their prime and not as good as Luke but also a bit more proven. Based on them I'd say Luke's value is a high 1st + top prospect (or another 1st) + player. We don't and won't have a high first (unless we deal with another team) but could give them Willander + pretty much anyone on our roster who they want (say Garland, Blueger, Suter, Zadorov but they'd probably want Hoglander who has more value). We have to probably give up a 2nd as well on top of all that

 

So...

 

TO NJD: Pettersson + Podkolzin + 1st + Lekkerimaki/Willander + Hoglander + 2nd

TO VAN: Luke + Jack

 

Basically decimates depth and futures for two stars. I guess it depends on if it's Willander or Lekker but surely NJD would want defencemen back. It's a good deal if it makes you really question it and that amount of value is decent. If you're NJD, that's probably enough to get it over the line. Puts them into more of a retool to get a bit younger.

Devils aren’t moving Jack Hughes because Hughes has arguably the best contract in the league.  
 

Would you move Quinn Hughes for Rasmus Dahlin?

That's a really good point actually, I was thinking that the only reason the Devils wouldn't do this deal is not because of losing value. But because it would likely be a $3.5 to $4.5 million dollar increase in paying E.Pettersson compared to J.Hughes.
