Danford (concussion) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against Ottawa.
It remains unclear when Danford will be recovered from his concussion, and Toronto will likely not rush the youngster along. The 18-year-old was a first-round selection by the Leafs in the 2024 NHL Draft. The right-shot blueliner is projected to develop his game at the OHL level in 2024-25.
