The Oilers have offered Slepyshev a qualifying offer.
The 24-year-old winger scored 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 50 games for Edmonton in 2017-18. However, Slepyshev is expected to sign with the KHL in the near future -- this qualifying offer merely allows the Oilers to retain his NHL rights. The young Russian failed to carve out a role in Oil Country this past season, and transferring leagues would only diminish his weak fantasy value in 2018-19.
