Defenseman Rob Davison inked a deal with the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. Terms of the deal have yet to be released. Update: The 1 year contract is valued at $560K.Davison was picked up by the Islanders late last season in a trade that sent a 7th Round pick in the Entry Draft that just past to the San Jose Sharks. Davison played 34 games during the 2007-08 campaign including 19 with the Isles. He notched both of his points (1 goal, 1 assist) in the Orange and Blue including one of the worst goals in NHL history. On the penalty kill in a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Davison swatted the puck from the Isles' goal line that knuckled and bounced its way over opposing goaltender Vesa Toskala.
