Arrested in April 2004, Danton spent 63 months in jail for a conspiracy to commit murder. The target was his agent, David Frost. The 135th overall pick in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft was released from prison in 2009.
↵Danton’s parole ends today, which ends his court-mandated meetings with corrections officials and enables him to travel without restriction.
↵The 30-year-old currently plays with the St. Mary’s University Huskies in Halifax.
