EDGE Analysis

Danforth had two goals and three points in six NHL contests in 2022-23. He missed most of the campaign due to a shoulder injury. Danforth's in the final season of his two-year, $1.95 million deal, so his new contract will cover the 2024-25 campaign. The 30-year-old is expected to serve in a bottom-six capacity when with the Blue Jackets this season.
