I never expected Slepyshev to make the team out of camp, and the fact that he is still around shows that Todd McLellan and the rest of his staff see something they like from him. At 6'2 and 187 pounds, he has the size to be a strong power forward, and has the speed to help complement it. He still needs some work, but I would see him playing a big role in the Oilers top nine moving forward.
EOTP: How healthy is the Battle of Alberta? Both teams have seen their share of struggles in recent history, but when Calgary and Edmonton play against one another, is there still a feeling of heightened anticipation from the fan base?
