Slepyshev finished the 2017-18 season with 12 points in 50 games.
Slepyshev was quite the nomadic player in 2017-18 -- he saw time on the first line with Connor McDavid, then time on the third line. He was deemed a healthy scratch and even went back down to Bakersfield. It will be interesting to see what Edmonton does with the 23-year-old Russian.
