That trade doesn't make a ton of sense for the Islanders, beyond the 2023 1st. Holl is a $2M 7th D if you're trading him to a team that already has Ryan Pulock, Noah Dobson, & Scott Mayfield signed next year, and Woll strikes me as an iffy prospect if he couldn't hack it on a team as thirsty for good goaltending as Toronto is.
The package the Isles would most likely push for instead would be a 2nd rounder and someone from your second tier of prospects (Steeves/Abramov/everyone around there.) If you want full retention, I think it's fair to bump the 2nd up to a 1st, or include a 3rd, dealer's choice on that one. If you want the Isles to do you the favor of taking Holl and his $2M off your hands on top of all that, you bump the 2nd to a 1st *and* include the 3rd.
