OILERS SIGN DAVIDSON
The Edmonton Oilers have signed Brandon Davidson to an entry level deal. This makes 8 players from the 2010 entry draft signed, with Kellen Jones still in college and two players (Blain and Czerwonka) on the outside looking in.
Some thoughts on Davidson are here.

Is this the draft that Kevin Lowe said that 50% becoming NHLers would be a real win for the club?
wow.. Flames hire Hartley.
I suggested him for the Oilers job and LT shot it down as the worst option possible comparing him to some coach I never heard from the 70′s or something.
Good on Davidson earning a contract. I remember reading that his family couldn’t afford to put him rep hockey for a couple years. Kid has got some character.
Also per TSN: Yakupov to spend a day and a half in Edmonton after the combine.
Good for the Oilers. As mentioned, he is a kid with some real character.
In regards to the cup finals… All I can say is go Blue Jays. Great pitching performance last night.
How about Igor Larionov coach the Oilers?
Hartley in Calgary means the kids will have to keep their heads up. Guy has a histrory of having teams that play on or over the edge.
….ST pencils in a Hordichuk, Eager, Parros 4th line for next year.
So Hartley is off the list… I wonder what LT’s list of preferred coaches for Edmonton would be?
Myself, I like Paul Maurice, but I’m no pro…
Clearly, he hasn’t been reading the blogs here in Edmonton, the Oilers management doesn’t want him. The guy just doesn’t get the message. #russianstalker
Davidson just taking a more old school approach – hope he makes it.
100% agree with Traktor – Flames instantly get 100% better coaching from Hartley than whoever they just fired – hopefully Glen Sather’s still intrigued by the rumoured personal services contract from His Nibs, where Slats returns to lead the Oilers dynasty 2.0 from behind the bench at the new Katz Coliseum.
News from Fussy today….
Eric Belanger had requested a trade from the Oilers as per Garfield
Oilers have offered L Petrell a 2 yr extension
Belanger requesting a trade is rich…
Signs for three years to finish his career in ‘one’ city, shits the perverbial bed all season long and THEN requests a trade.
Well done Eric.
Will the Habs part ways with a 4th rd pick to snag this little gem out of Edm?
Belanger and our 3rd for the Hab 2nd
Belanger and our 2nd for Montreal’s 3rd is more fitting/likely.
More Fussy…
Washington Capitals inquire about the Oilers first overall pick.
Must Have More Russians!
“Had” or “has”?
LT,
