Waiver wire: Edmonton reunites with former defenseman

Edmonton reacquired a defenseman from last year.

The Oilers have claimed Brandon Davidson off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens. The 26 year old was a member of the Oilers until late last season, when they traded him to Montreal for David Desharnais.

Davidson, who is signed to a modest $1.425 million dollar cap hit, will help fill a hole on defense from the injuries to Larsson, Klefbom, and Sekera on the back end.

Is this a good pickup for Edmonton? Comment below.
