I don't mind this. I think signing Brodie is very possible as well. I like the strides we saw from Holl once finally given a full season to play, I think him and Muzzin could be solid. Playing Brodie with Rielley should on paper make a stronger 1st pairing D. I'm not sure how you get playing time for all of Dermott, Sandin, Lilgren and Lehtonen but definitely gives them some better depth on D.
I don't think Dubas wants to go into the season this close to the cap though, so wouldn't be surprised if the unload Kerfoot as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this year there's multiple teams who promote some of their younger AHL players to fill out bottom 6 roles with the flat cap. If the Leafs are going to spend money on the blue line they will need to take the same approach upfront to stay under the cap.
