2023 Fantasy Outlook
Danforth appeared in a half dozen games last season, potting a couple goals and adding an assist before suffering a shoulder injury in a late October contest against the Penguins which ended his year. He ended up undergoing surgery for a torn labrum, and although Danforth was back skating in February, he never returned in what was a lost season for Columbus. The good news is the 30-year-old should be fully healthy for training camp and ready to regain a job in the bottom six for the Blue Jackets, although that's not a gig that will lead to any sort of fantasy value.
