Normally, in dealing with a projected loss of assets, you consider options other than total mitigation and no mitigation at all. It's better to cut your losses than just sit and take them, even if you can't cut your losses all the way to zero.

If the market dictates that you can't cut the losses to zero, logic dictates that you do the best you can. You appear to advocate that the Penguins should just take it on the chin if they can't find a perfect deal.
If they don't do something with fluery then they lose Murray or have to make a deal with the LGK to give them an asset to pick someone else

A)trade Fleury and get something
B) Don't trade him lose Murray
c) Trade prospect/picks to have them pick one of their D etc.
