He also possesses a very effective slap shot. This season, the 26-year-old has three goals and two assists for five points. Davidson also added 19 minutes in penalties while splitting time with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/nhl-teams\/canadiens\/\" target=\"_self\">Montreal Canadiens<\/a> and Edmonton Oilers organizations. His Corsi is very good this season, sitting at 51.7%, which is 0.6% higher than his career. However, with the Oilers this year, his Corsi was 49.1%. With the Canadiens, it was 56.6%.<\/p>\n<p>Davidson was originally drafted by the Oilers in the 6th round of the 2010 Draft (162 overall). He debuted with Edmonton in the 2014-15 season and was <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2017\/02\/28\/david-desharnais-traded-team\/\" target=\"_self\">then traded to<\/a> Montreal at last seasons trade deadline in exchange for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/deshada01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Desharnais<\/a><\/strong>. The Oilers were able to regain the six-foot-two blue-liner after Montreal placed him on waivers in early December. He has tallied eight goals and 12 assists for 20 points in his 137 game career. Davidson has also tallied a total of 59 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Edmonton Gets a Pick<\/h2>\n<p>The Edmonton Oilers were able to get an asset in this trade and dump a $1.4 million cap hit. The asset is a third-round pick in 2019 and in acquiring the pick, the Oilers now have two picks in the third round of the draft. Even if the pick doesn&#8217;t stay with Edmonton, it could be used as a piece in another trade in the off-season or even at the deadline on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit:<br \/>\n<a id=\"JqKcotAkSG9Cwbyd678r4w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/920240134\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'JqKcotAkSG9Cwbyd678r4w',sig:'Eo475PhSFtRMCWapKJws9CdvG5w4fQON19h4Y2L1InY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'920240134',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the deadline\u00a0approaches, the New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers have agreed to a trade that sends defenseman Brandon Davidson to Long Island in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. #Isles Transaction: Team has acquired Brandon Davidson from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for 2019 3rd round pick. pic.twitter.com\/vRdwcraq3l &mdash; New [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2379,"featured_media":24114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,17,34],"tags":[651,138,491],"class_list":["post-24111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oilers","category-islanders","category-news","tag-brandon-davidson","tag-edmonton-oilers","tag-new-york-islanders"],"modified_by":"Ben Kerr","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2379"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
