The only way the trade Holl is if the Leafs are able to bring in another top RD to play with Muzzin, take your pick whoever you like. Otherwise, why would a team known for being bad at defense mess with their only good defensive pairing? Why would a team with no other NHL quality right-handers get rid of their only good right hander? Holl was essentially a rookie last year, despite being an on and off bench player for two years before that.
Justin Holl played some of the hardest minutes in the NHL last year. On ice stats:
51.8% puck possession rating
52.34% of the total shots
51.56% of the total goals
53% expected-goals
53% of the total scoring chances
51. 71% of the total dangerous chances.
A major criticism of Holl is that he was carried by Muzzin. The guy is awesome and he basically makes anyone he plays with better. There is no shame in being better because you played with Muzzin.
