Brandon Davidson is No. 88 on your Edmonton Oilers' lineup card but he’s quite likely No. 1 on the Vegas Golden Knights’ expansion list when they see which guys the Oilers expose in June.
He’s young, good and inexpensive.
Everybody knows the Oilers are protecting Andrej Sekera, Adam Larsson and Oscar Klefbom if they go the route of three defencemen, seven forwards, which leaves Davidson out there unless they can work a deal with Vegas GM George McPhee to keep his hands off for something else.
Farmhand defenceman Mark Fayne will be available too, but at $3.
