Probably Bjugstad because I think JR will have to wait for the goalie UFA situation to clear up before trading Murray.
For Kessel.
Kapanen out west for a gritty, slow 20 point winger who can fight. Gritty slow winger to be traded midseason - after falling out with Sullivan - for Conor Sheary. Sheary on L1 with Sid.
The only thing that I can’t fit into the puzzle is the return.. anything from Detroit that’d help us is something they wouldn’t part with. And we’re not gonna acquire futures after just dealing our 1st.Murray is the safe bet here.
I'm still holding out hope it is Murray+JMFJ to Detroit. I think it makes sense for both sides.

My suggestion was Chomlowski and Darren Helm. Helm has warts but he's only signed for one year, he's fast, and wins faceoffs. So he could fill in for the year as our 3 or 4c. I would think Detroit might want to unload a bad contract if they're getting one in return. Chomlowski is a project but still has plenty of upside; he could compete with POJ for the left d spot on the bottom pairing.
My suggestion has been Glendening. And if Detroit doesn't think JMFJ is as much of a negative as we do, maybe you can recoup a future. You'd have to be OK with Blueger as your 3C I suppose, but Glendening is a RH center who's good on the draws and used to a heavy defensive workload. He's cheap and he's only got 1 year left. He's a good skater. He's not too old. He's relatively physical. He's had some decent years despite being on the shitshow that is your Detroit Red Wings. It's admittedly not a great return for Murray, but the real benefit is dumping JMFJ without having to retain anything.The only thing that I can’t fit into the puzzle is the return.. anything from Detroit that’d help us is something they wouldn’t part with.
