Fantasy Analysis
Jim Slater had one of his most offensively productive seasons in 2012 and finished the year by recording three points in his last two games. With any luck, he can maintain that momentum when he takes his game to the international stage. (Updated 04/11/2012).
Slater had five goals and seven assists for just 12 points in 36 games with the Thrashers last season. On top of his scarce offensive contributions, Slater suffered from concussion issues last spring. Couple that with the fact he's a checking forward at his best and there is little reason to give him a look on your fantasy squad. (Updated 8/16/11)
