Despite being drafted, Slavin committed to Colorado College to play for the NCAA Division I Tigers ice hockey team. In his first year, his outstanding play was recognized when he was selected as NCHC Rookie of the Year [2] and named to both the 2013–14 NCHC All-Rookie Team and the 2013–14 NCHC All-Conference Second Team. [3]

The following season, Slavin was named to the 2014–15 NCHC All-Conference First Team. [4] Following his sophomore year, Slavin signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes, forgoing his collegiate career. [5]

He received the award after accumulating only one minor penalty while averaging 22:59 of ice time over 52 games. [10] Three years later he received the Lady Byng Trophy for the second time, after registering 37 points and only four minor penalties across 81 games in the 2023–24 season, becoming the second defenseman after Red Kelly to win the trophy multiple times. [11]

On July 1, 2024, Slavin signed an eight-year, $51.69 million contract extension with the Hurricanes, carrying an average annual value of $6.46 million. [12]
