The San Jose Sharks have revamped their team through NHL Free Agency, highlighted by the signing of veteran forward Jeff Skinner to a one-year contract. Skinner joins after a lackluster season with the Edmonton Oilers, where he scored only 29 points. He is expected to provide veteran leadership to young talents like Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. Skinner expressed confidence in his abilities and is eager for this new opportunity, feeling he still has a lot to contribute. Celebrini, the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, has already made an impressive impact, prompting Skinner's high praise.
"I, for sure, think that I have a lot left in the tank. I think I'm excited to start a new challenge. I think there's some extra juice and extra energy that comes along with that and I think for sure I've got a lot left. I think when I don't feel that way, I probably won't play anymore, so I'm real excited to get going."
"I don't think I was that talented or that prepared to come into the League as he was from what I've seen from afar."
