Sujet: Travis Dermott VS Justin Holl
Due to the upcoming expansion draft, it would be smart for some teams to deal away one of their top 4 D. I think the leafs should be open to using one of these two along with a top 6 forward to get the right fit at 1RD/2RD. Nashville seems most obvious to me, I just don't know whether they would rather send Ekholm or Ellis away (Leafs would most likely target Ellis I'd imagine).

I feel like both Poile and Dubas need to have results next year (conference semifinals or more), or they both will be fired due to their poor forward signings and lack of results.

If I had to pick between Holl and Dermott (assuming we are getting decent value for whoever is traded), I would keep Holl, since Dermott will be forced into a position he is less than optimal at, while Holl has shown he can make a decent pairing with Muzzin.

My hot take for next season is that Lehtonen will be the Leafs' 2RD by the halfway point at the latest. I think Sandin-Holl would work better as a bottom pairing than Sandin-Dermott, especially if we can sell Dermott for more value than Holl.
