Signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Secures two-year deal
Danforth signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Danforth reached the 20-point threshold with Columbus this past season despite playing in just 61 games due to injury. If the Ontario native can secure a top-six role with the Sabres, in addition to earning a spot with one of the power-play units, he could challenge his career-best 26 points set back in 2023-24 with the Jackets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Danforth was a feel-good story last season, playing in a regular role at the NHL level for the first time in his age-30 season (he turned 31 on March 15). From a fantasy perspective, though, there's not much to talk about here. He had 10 goals, 26 points, 26 PIM and 109 hits in 71 outings with Columbus last season. Danforth is penciled in to serve on the Blue Jackets' third line in 2024-25, so he has the potential to put up similar numbers to his 2023-24 totals, but that's about as good as it's likely to get for him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to stay with Columbus
Danforth and the Blue Jackets continue to work on a new deal ahead of the opening of free agency Tuesday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Danforth was limited to just 61 regular-season games for the Jackets last year but still managed to reach the 20-point threshold for the second straight year. If he can stay healthy and in the lineup, the 32-year-old winger could challenge for the 30-point threshold this year. Combined with his physicality -- he racked up 126 hits last year -- Danforth should offer decent mid-range fantasy value in most formats.
