You would be hard-pressed to find a harder worker on the Blue Jackets than Justin Danforth. He’s relentless in all three zones and puts 110% effort into whatever he’s asked to do. This season, he was a big part of Vincent’s line blender.
As we progress through these reviews, I suspect we are going to see a trend, and it starts with Danforth. As PD mentioned in the Gaudreau review, Danforth spent over 261 minutes playing opposite Johnny Hockey. I understand that he’s one of the most trusted forwards on the team, but where does he rank among his peers in terms of offensive skill?
