The fact he’s still with the organization despite all of that turnover says something about his skills, or perhaps more so his character. He’s never had a contract longer than two years, but he’s entering his seventh season with the franchise. He was on his way to a career-best point total last season, but a concussion ended his season after just 36 games.
Slater fits the role of a perfect fourth line center. The former 30th overall pick never posted more than 20 points in a season which indicates his lack of fantasy hockey value.
