I appreciate the description. A few things...
1. I doubt Holl will stay. Fans have been so hard on him that I think he is ready to move on. He would also make more on the open market than he would in Toronto.
2. Kallgren won't be resigned as Toronto has a lot of up-and-coming young goalies in their system.
3. I'm certainly open to trading Brodie as he is on an expiring contract. My problem with it is that you would need to replace him. You did so with Severson and while I think that he is a good player, I think that he isn't strong enough in his own end or on the PK. This makes Toronto's D more offensive than defensive.
4. I'm convinced that this core with disappoint again. I hope I'm wrong but I believe that the only way forward is to move on from one of Marner or Nylander, clear out Murray, and try and get younger. Build a team around Matthews and get him some consistent wingers to play with
