Slavin as a top10 D seems very subjective. Pietrangelo, Josi, Parayko, Seth Jones, I hear this Hedman guy is pretty good, Trouba, Giordano did win the Norris this year, Letang, OEL, Carlson, Karlsson (though he might be starting to decline), Hamilton is oft traded but pretty good too...so what I'm saying is while Slavin a very good youngish D at a fairly reasonable 5.3M, top 10 is a stretch even with excluding guys like Burns and Byfuglien.
Honestly, take a breath, fill out a top 20 for yourself, and then think about how many people would agree. If Slavin is in your top 10 the answer is not many.
