I mean the answer is in house already. Analytics call Woll one of the better goalies in the league this season and you conveniently skipped him in your list which he qualifies for. 8th in the league in GSAx/60 with a minimum 10 games played. Fun fact is that if you lower it to 5 games played Jones is actually 6th in the league, he's been fine. Having him as a backup isn't the end of the world. The problem has a timer, can they pass for 1 month until Woll gets back? They've done ok without him and have a fair cushion being 2-3 points up on the closest teams in the Atlantic and having 2-3 games in hand on both of them as well. Beyond that, if they want to try something at goal in the short term to split with Jones, they have the 2nd best goalie in the AHL currently with 22 year old Hildeby. Giving him a shot at the big league is probably the short term answer. Goaltending isn't the end of the world problem like people are making it out to be, it's just the short term problem that they can withstand.
The real problem is the defense but you didn't really address it at all. Can the Leafs find 1 or 2 guys to give them a passable dcore? Sure. They have the assets to do it and it's a fairly robust market out there right now, lots of options.
