Josiah Slavin
Josiah Slavin attended Carolina's training camp on a professional tryout (PTO) but was released from that PTO as the Hurricanes trimmed their roster, and he is now with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, where he is captain; he has no path onto Carolina's NHL roster for the 2026-27 season as things stand.
Role
Per an NHL.com Hurricanes team release describing the roster trim (dated the day before this check) and a matching Yahoo Sports report from the same day, Slavin was on a PTO for Carolina's camp and has now been released from it; he is on an AHL contract with the Chicago Wolves, whom he captains, per Wikipedia's current bio. There is no line, power-play, or NHL ice-time role to report because he is not on an NHL roster; earlier in the year, NHL.com's transaction log shows Carolina assigned him to Chicago on April 12, 2026, during last season.
There is no bull case for NHL fantasy purposes right now: he is an AHL player on a tryout that did not convert, with no indicated path to Carolina's opening-night roster or call-up depth chart based on anything found.
He was let go from a PTO during Carolina's final camp roster trim and is playing in the AHL on an AHL-only contract, which by itself removes him from realistic NHL fantasy consideration for the start of the season.
Where analysts split
Broad agreement: NHL.com's own roster-trim release and Yahoo Sports's same-day report both describe the identical outcome, a PTO that ended without an NHL deal, so there is no current analyst split to report.
Research confidence: reported. Outlooks are grounded in web search over current reporting and refreshed through the season.
