The intelligent thing to do for PIT is to explore trade options for both of them and then decide which one to keep based on trade value and other considerations (age, length of contract, leadership, etc).
So they should explore the idea of moving Fleury (find out which teams he's open to) and explore the market for him from that subset of teams that is interested. They should explore the market on Murray to see what he could get in a trade as well.
They can't really make an informed decision about which one to trade unless they see what the market is for both goalies. Your analysis is a little off to me because you're saying if they restrict themselves to the one option then the trade value goes down. But I'm saying that they have both options open, the trade value is unaffected and they can choose which route they'd rather go.
Do they want to move Fleury for not as much and go with the younger Murray?
Or do they find a team that loves Murray and is willing to trade a crazy package for him?
Both options are open. So if you're a GM wanting Murray you're probably gonna have to overpay. If you're a GM wanting Fleury you can probably get him for a lot less than Murray.

I know Murray has only played 2 games in the playoffs, but sadly, I don't think this is the case anymore.
As for the Bennett for Scheider idea, I would do it in a heartbeat. Even if the Flames threw in their 2017 first. Goaltending is an extremely important position, and Schneider has a long track record of consistency. Does he still have the highest career save percentage of all time?
