Fringe Signings (Sep 27)

The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to terms with defenseman Brandon Davidson on Thursday morning, giving him a 1-year deal, worth $650,000.  Davidson was in Chicago's training camp on a professional tryout and he played his way onto the team, outplaying some of the younger prospects on the roster and making his way to the 6th or 7th defenseman role.

With injuries to Gustav Forsling and Connor Murphy, the Blackhawks were likely in need of a little bit more experience on the back end to start the season, which led to the Davidson signing.  It will be interesting to see how he fits in, once the injuries heal up, but for now, expect him on the opening night roster.
