The San Jose Sharks signed former Oilers winger Jeff Skinner to a one-year, $3 million deal, officially ending a brief and lackluster stint in Edmonton. While Skinner showed signs that he could be the player the Oilers were hoping they’d signed in free agency,

Skinner originally arrived in Edmonton after the Buffalo Sabres bought out the three years remaining on the eight-year, $72-million contract he signed ahead of the 2019-20 season. At the time of his deal with the Sabres, Skinner was coming off of the career-best 40-goal campaign he recorded during his first season in Buffalo.

The San Jose Sharks signed free agent forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year deal worth $3 million, the team announced Friday. Skinner, 33, is fresh off a one-year stint with the Edmonton Oilers which gave him his first postseason experience in 15 seasons in the league.
