I could see them gambling on him... but it would be for Johnsson, not Kerfoot.

Bennett was drafted 4th overall in the 2014 NHL Draft and was considered arguably the most talented all-around forward in the draft with impeccable vision up and down the ice and uncanny ability to create plays and make tape-to-tape passes with ease but for whatever reason has not put his game together with the Flames and needs a change of scenery to restart his hockey career.

I've actually been thinking about potentially adding Bennett as well. I wouldn't do it for Kerfoot, but if they could swing something based on a package of picks or rather just Johnsson as @Wqrrior suggested, I'd be up for it.

Bennett isn't worth half of Kerfoot.

So he’s worth like a ice skating Oompa Loompa?🤪

Bennett is a serviceable forward no doubt. I think there there is some upside there for sure.

Adding Bennett and expecting a mostly lateral move like that to "bring a cup" is another story altogether.

I think Johnsson may return something similar to what you have suggested here.

The D Core is still very suspect and that is where the upgrades need to be IMO. What you have here isn't good enough.

I think Clifford gets more than that as a UFA and the Leafs simply cannot afford to do that.

In a sensational record-shattering season Toronto dominates the league and goes 80-2. Tavares nets 647 points, Matthews has a record breaking 27 hat tricks, Marner scores 400 goals, Sam Bennet finally plays up to his draft selection and nets 150 points all while playing on the third line. Leafs Legend Cody Ceci returns to his team and wins the Norris.

And then Toronto gets swept by the Bruins in the first Round.

WOW, you are making pretty big bets. I won't risk so much money just for betting. In my opinion, this can't be a stable source of income because you can never be sure that you made the right pick. I am usually betting using cryptocurrency onsportsbetter.io . I wanted o find a method for making more crypto, and I decided that crypto betting is a good decision. Nowadays, it is pretty popular, and many people want to make bets using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Also, the coefficient is always profitable, especially on official matches.
