Jeff Skinner signed a one-year, $3-million contract with the San Jose Sharks after limited playoff success with the Edmonton Oilers. In his first postseason experience, he played only five games, averaging 12:13 minutes on the ice and recording only two points. The Sharks, who are unlikely to make the playoffs this season, may be positioning veterans like Skinner for potential trades. GM Mike Grier is bringing in experienced players, aiming for trades before the deadline.
Skinner averaged just 12:13 of ice time during the postseason with only one goal and two points in his brief playoff experience last year.
After 15 seasons without playoff action, Skinner's lack of success last year was disappointing and has raised questions about his future postseason opportunities.
The San Jose Sharks' strategy under GM Mike Grier focuses on acquiring veterans who can be traded at the next NHL trade deadline.
Skinner's signing with the Sharks signals a potential shift, as he must field a strong performance to attract interest from playoff-bound teams.
