Quoting: omo3
Holl gets carried by Muzzin. He's an AHL player. His numbers are complete garbage away from Muzzin.
more 5v5 points than josi, ellis, pulock, graves, krug, hedman, werenski, heiskanen, and pelech but yes he's an AHL defenseman
he also played more minutes than any other player on the league's 8th best penalty kill (in terms of xGA). Career AHLer
sure he gets better playing with muzzin, that's why we signed Muzzin to a 4 year deal lol. Chemistry is no guarantee, Holl and Muzzin have it, they weren't the problem last year. that pairing is greater than the sum of its parts, it's a luxury that works and the leafs are smart to preserve it

Who exactly would you replace him with? Keefe won't play Dermott more than 16 minutes even with muzzin injured. Liljegren hasn't played in the NHL essentially.
Savard is the only guy in Ufa and I can assure you he'll cost more than 2 mil if he'd even sign here...
leafs struggled to find a competant RD for a decade, they finally get one and they think it'll be easy to lose him for nothing and upgrade lol
