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. The Oilers lost to the Florida Panthers in six games in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second straight year, failing to secure their first title since 1990.
Skinner had 16 goals and 13 assists in 72 regular-season games with the Oilers, and added a goal and an assist in five games during the Oilers' postseason run.After being picked by the Carolina Hurricanes with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2010 draft, Skinner won the Calder Memorial Trophy in 2011 as the league's best rookie.
In 15 NHL seasons with the Hurricanes (2010-18), Buffalo Sabres (2018-24) and Oilers, Skinner has racked up 373 goals and 326 assists in 1,078 games.
