It is Jaccob Slavin‘s world. We are all just living in it. The Norris Trophy finalist names have come out and once again they manage to completely misspell his name. That’s okay. Where the league will not give him his credit, we will.
Jaccob Slavin led the Carolina Hurricanes in blocked shots with 133 in the regular season. He is rarely out of position and has the ability to recover on almost all situations. His willingness to get down and to block shots is a staple of his defensive play.
He also has the ability, when he is out of position, to use his stick to deflect pucks in passing lanes out of harm’s way.
