Sabres forward Justin Danforth had a challenging season, playing only four games before breaking his kneecap, which required two surgeries and sidelined him for the rest of the year. He is nearing full recovery and has one year left on his $1.8MM AAV contract, though his roster spot could be at risk amid Buffalo’s cap issues. In other news, former Canucks GM Mike Gillis clarified he never interviewed for the Maple Leafs GM position, and the Oilers may sign KHL player Maxim Berezkin, while Rasmus Dahlin and Leo Carlsson declined invites to the World Championships.
