I wonder if this means Slavin is expected to miss a good chunk of the season. Otherwise they look ridiculously deep on the left side of the blue line. Can you imagine having an 18-goal scorer playing on your third pair? If they can trade Skjei for a goal-scoring forward, even if it's a guy in the last year of his contract (I was thinking Scheifele, but Winnipeg needs centers much more than they need defensemen), this will be a good move, otherwise it seems like they're wasting valuable cap space on something they don't need.
