msweet Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news/20021203/...nsuspended.html Devils suspend rookie C Danton December 3, 2002 EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Ticker) - The New Jersey Devils on Tuesday suspended rookie center Mike Danton. Danton was suspended by general manager Lou Lamoriell for failing to report to the team's minor league affiliate in Albany. It is the second time in as many seasons that the 22-year-old has been suspended by Lamoriello. Danton, who changed his name from Mike Jefferson last year, was assigned to Albany on November 29, but elected to go home in Kingston, Ontario. A season ago, Danton contended he had a serious abdominal injury and could not skate for a long period of time. He decided to get a second medical opinion on the west coast against the Devils' assignment to Albany. Lamoriello suspended him without pay and Danton filed a grievance with the NHL Players Association. After getting scratched in a game earlier this season, Danton also drew the ire of the strict Lamoriello for complaining to the local media about his playing time. Danton has asked the team to trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 The lad needs to conquer his personal demons before he can return to the ice. Getting rid of that agent would be a great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
