Last season with the Brandon Wheat Kings h had 33 goals and 45 assists for 78 points in 68 games.
Here’s what Elite Prospects wrote in their draft guide:
"Danielson was a creator of rush offence, building speed beneath the puck, charging through the neutral zone with possession, carving the ice up with powerful, agile crossovers, and turning the corner on opposing defenceman. Equal parts natural speed as a skater and handling skill made that a relatively effective signature move for the Wheat Kings centre."
