Back to the Well: Islanders acquire D Davidson from Oilers for pick

Just as I was leaving the movie theater after watching Black Panther for a second time (it’s even better upon further viewing), Garth Snow was also taking part in one of his favorite activities, acquiring useful players from Oilers counterpart Peter Chiarelli.

The Islanders acquired defenseman Brandon Davidson from Edmonton for a 2019 third round pick today, a move that they hope could add a little stability to their generally shambolic defense.

Offense isn’t his forte exactly, what with only 20 points (8 goals, 12 assists) in 137 career games.
