As Slavakov hits the tail end of his career, he definitely had his ups and downs career wise. His first two J seasons weren’t great but he played very well in his second two seasons, including winning a cup. His rookie season in Edmonton wasn’t anything special but he hit his peak in S65 as a member of the Pride, and you could see there were flashes of star potential to be seen there. Unfortunately, all of that went away when he switched to a defenseman. There he became absolutely useless and would be good for some shot blocks but really didn’t do anything of value beyond that. His point totals crashed and even with how much ice time he was taking up he was still being outscored by players much less talented than himself. If he had never switched to being a defenseman, its possible Slavakov may have had a much longer career, but as it stands now he is facing the light at the end of the tunnel.
