Danton's parole ends Friday and he will be free and clear to travel wherever he pleases. He was freed from a U.S. prison in March 2009. He has been out of the league for 6 years and is now playing for the St. Mary's Huskies in Halifax. Far away from the bright lights of the NHL.
Danton realizes it would be a long climb back and knows teams would be careful since he has a conviction. There's no Oakland Raiders type of owner in the NHL so it'll be hard for him to get a sniff from anyone. He basically blackballed himself right out of the league. You never know, athletes in every sport have gotten a second chance. If it is shown he could help a team out I'm sure they would be quick to sign him. Hockey fans stay tuned.

Danton was an enforcer type player and that type of player has kind of gone away in the NHL so there may be no place for him now even if a team could forget his past.
The article is good but there are some others which go into quite a bit of detail as to the Danton/Frost relationship which was bizarre to say the least.
I vaguely remember the story,but yes,it was bizarre
