Justin Holl is a perfect bottom pairing RHD. If the Leafs can get a multi year deal done in the 1.75 to 2.25 million dollar range it would go a long way to solidifying that side of the D Core. He can play on the 2nd pair in a pinch but long term, I think it would be better served to have him on the bottom pair.
Rielly / ???
Dermott / ???
Sandin / Holl
I expect that both Muzzin and Barrie will be out of the mix next year for financial reasons and Liljegren, although showing promise, is still unproven at the NHL level.
The Leafs need to focus on a legitimate top pairing RHD to play with Rielly in the summer. They do not have one in the organization at present who is not a UFA at seasons end.
