Good depth signing for the farm and can challenge for the 7th spot.

I have liked him in the past but this makes very little sense to me.

All it costs is a contract, at least.

Okay maybe that's enough ex-Oilers for one offseason. Don't want too much of that stink in the organization.

Wasn't Davidson one of Edmonton's 6 Giordanos?

Very little sense? We need players to play in Stockton still. Why not have players that have previous NHL experience?

It's a 2 way contract, he'll play in the AHL. We lost Ollas-Mattson and Healey recently from the Stockton D. Plus Kylington and Valimaki could/should both be with the Flames full-time.

He'll have to switch numbers. Davidson has worn 88 his whole career but Mangiapane has it. Really hope Mang doesn't switch, 88 is a sweet couple digits.

This just shows that Tkachuck will be in training camp. Davidson is here for Tkachuck to practice getting under guys skin on. Its like a live tackling dummy.

Brandon Manning.

Davidson is the one Tkachuk slewfoot in his first NHL game that made Oilers fans froth at the mouth.
